Save your money for a new computer.
I use CCleaner, http://www.piriform.com/blog/2013/4/25/ccleaner-v401 I do not use registry tools.
Disk Defrag http://www.filehippo.com/download_auslogics_disk_defrag/
and System Ninja https://singularlabs.com/software/system-ninja/
Thanks again nutmeg3 for the links. I just downloaded the CCleaner and ran it. I'll see next time if my computer is any faster when I start it up. Do I really need to do the other 2 things that you suggested? I'm always so afraid I'm going to do something terribly wrong to my computer! Thanks again!
Yes you do. Your computer needs a good defrag, and System Ninja will remove a lot of old buried files.
Hi nutmeg3, I have a question. I went to download the System Ninja from Singular Labs. Something pops up on my computer stating the license couldn't be verified and I shouldn't run this because it is unknown, not safe. I don't know what to do.

If you are not comfortable using System Ninja then don't. CCleaner will help speed up your computer.

nutmeg3 I downloaded and ran the CCleaner and the Disk Defrag, it got rid of alot of stuff on my computer I didn't need. I ran a full virus scan as I do every week. It use to take close to 4 hours and now only took about 2 hours! I'm ashamed to say that in the 4 years I've had my computer I never ran any kind of program to clean it up! Thanks again!

Hi nutmeg3. I ended up cancelling the WinCleaner. Are these links secure? Are these free or do you have to pay for downloading them? I am sorry for the questions, but like I said I am not tech savvy and am not sure if I should use these or even how to use them.
I am updating the CCleaner link. http://www.piriform.com/blog. The others are fine.
