Download ccleaner, run the cleaner and also scan for issues.
Do a defrag then re-boot, if it's still slow then re-boot again.

im scaning with my new sophos antivirus program and its found 2 adware programs and one trojan that was last time i had to reboot my pc cause it crashed now its rescaning

Download Ccleaner from here:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
Then scan for issues by clicking in the issues tab, and make a backup of the registry first (save it in an easy to find location, like C:\)
The registry isn't all for the CD keys that you use to install a program. In this case, they are the keys that run at the start up of your computer, and they allow programs to run.
Do you have an antivirus scanner?

sophos found some trojans but im afriad to delete them cause they are deep and i mean DEEEEEEEEEEEEP within my system not hardware wise though i mean file wise

i did what u said ........ok now what
-
halokid224...... Take a deep breath and lets get at it .....
The first thing to do .....
Turn off system restore on all drives . Most important as trojans love to hide in those files .
Make sure you have Ewido installed on your machine and has the latest updates ...... get it at ..... http://www.majorgeeks.com/Ewido_security_suite_d4677.html
Next ...... Reboot into safe mode
From safe mode , run your anti virus ....make sure to do a comlete scan.
remove anything it may find .......
Reboot back to Normal
Now run Ewido
Reboot and then ....... run a scan with hijackthis , save the logfile and post it here .
I have assumed you have run ccleaner and it is configured as directed in the link that GX1_Man posted.

Don't get distracted by your preconceived notions. Just follow the instructions EXACTLY and watch how much your system improves.
