I work for out IT department and the first thing that I do when I buy a new pc or get one second hand; uninstall McAfee; it can slow your pc down alot. Also go under tools then options and on the general tab; delete the cookies, temp internet files and browsing history; all of these things really slow down a pc and sometimes can stop you from accessing internet sites. Depending on your version of windows; if you have the option to put in how many days to keep history; chose 0. Then every time you reboot it'll delete these files and keep them clean. The other suggestions here are also good things; like defrag; which is very easy.
