My computer is really running slow. I don’t have a lot of pictures or music files loaded on it. Are there any free downloadable reputable software programs out there that will help to speed up my computers performance?

Malware is always a possible source of problems and may have invaded your computer, get this free scanner to check for it: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-amp-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html?tag=mncol&cdlPid=10861988
To nuke junk, get a good powerful free cleaning program that I use: http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html
The Java Runtime Environment can cause slowdowns if you made updates, you should use a free program I use myself called JavaRa to get the latest version of the JRE and remove the older versions. This will ensure that the security of your computer is enhanced and extra space on your hard disk is created. Find more information here: http://raproducts.org/javara.html and the download link on this page: http://raproducts.org/
( A word of caution, with programs this powerful, be sure to read all instructions twice so that you can fix it once ! )
Flush your browsers temporary files (cache) and lastly on the software front, defragment your hard drive(s)
The following suggestions for the capacity (hardware) part are optional (but is not that costly and may help in the long run):
If you can buy another internal drive (if you have the space for it), I would suggest to do it. If you cannot add an internal, go for an external !
(If you decide to follow my suggestion), you should follow this guide to move the My Documents folder to the new drive: http://www.techsupportalert.com/how_to_move_my_documents.htm That should free quite a bit of space from the original drive and speed some things on it. (If you made your own document folders (.doc, .xls, .ppt, jpg, .png, .gif OR any other type of document) outside of the normal structure, move these also to the new drive with a file manager.)
So here we have it, I hope this will help guide you to a faster machine
Good luck
Cheers

That’s like asking what to do because you car is running slow. Changing the tires will really work well if you have 4 flats, but it would be a waste of effort (and money) if the car was out of gas.
Determine why it’s running slow (or at least WHAT’S running slow – if it’s your downloads, cleaning your disk won’t help), then you;ll know what to fix.
