For general purposes, I use msconfig that is part of windows.

Just go in and turn off all the junk you don’t want running. Be very careful. You don’t want to turn off something important.

If it is a nasty, then use the other programs as prescribed by folks above.

In addition to Malwarebytes and CCleaner, I like something called Adw cleaner. This does a good job of removing toolbars that install with other software. The toolbars are often trojans that are set up to direct your searches to sites they want you to see. They can really slow things down.

I find that www.CCleaner.com is quite good and free.

CCleaner in conjunction with Auslogics Registry Cleaner.

Run CCleaner first - then Auslogics. Auslogics cleans out a lot more stuff ...

Definitely CCleaner and Malware Bytes. Be sure you have up to date anti-virus software. I have used the free version of Avast.

I would also go through and remove any programs you are not using.. CCleaner can help with the uninstall.

When you have everything cleaned up I would do a defragmentation of the hard drive. I like Auslogics Disk Defrag.
