How can I get my computer to be fast again?
I own a 1-year-old laptop running Windows 7, and like all PCs, it's begun to slow down over time.
What are some (free) things I can do to get it running more quickly? Are those registry repair programs a good idea? If so, what is a good free one I can download?

Ok I am not a computer genious, I suck with mine.. But my husband went to school for this kind of stuff.. He says to tell you that you can speed up your computer by keeping it cool... get a lap top fan.. He got me one for like $5 so they are cheap.. keep your memory clean and defragg your computer atleast once a week... as for the registry repair programs he doesnt know because he never used them but be careful about downloading you dont want to pick up a virus

If you are looking to clear out virus
AVG is a good one
Here is another one

To wipe your computer clean and back to day one you would need to wipe the hard drive.
You could try doing a defragment on the computer which would wipe unused files and create more space by going to Start-Program-Accessories-System Defragmenter. You could to to restore your computer back to date but do not get in the habit of restoring your computer often. Again, Start-Program-Accessories-System restore.
I'm sure they have more free virus protection websites out there but you'd have to google them up, Many offer trials for 30 days but AVG is offers a free program.
