Start>Run>MSCONFIG
After that comes up the Startup Tab. Check and make sure only the applications you want running on startup are running. Thats a starting point for ya.
After that get CCleaner and run that to clean out some garbage on your system.

CTRL+ALT+DEL>PROCCESES see how many you have running and whats using all your RAM and CPU up, also in MSCONFIG click on services and tick the "hide all microsft services" box and the list you are left with untick things you dont wish to run, mine are things like "ipodservice"...and crap like that..by doing both of these i manmaged to get 16-17 procceses idle. lso download Ccleaner:
free junk cleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com/
maybe try defrag your HDD, for that try O&O defrag free here - http://www.oo-software.com/en/download/ << that ones a trial
once youve done all this should be ok if still bad maybe try overclocking your CPU or RAM?

Re:
Hello,
As well as spyware, adware and virus scans...I would check your HDD for errors and defrag your drive as well if you haven't already done so.
If you don't know how, you can check your hard drive for errors by:
1. Going to My Computer.
2. Right clicking a drive and selecting Properties.
3. Clicking the Tools tab.
4. Click the Check Now button under error-checking.
The next time you start your PC, it will check that drive for errors. Do the same for any other partitions you have on your PC.
To perform a defrag:
1. Go to Control Panel.
2. Double-click on Administrative Tools.
3. Expand Storage on the left.
4. Click on Disk Defragmenter.
5. Select a volume on the right and click the Analyze button below...
Defragment the volume if the analysis informs you that the drive needs defragging.
