How do I clean out an older PC without too much hassle?

ok i have an older model PC. It’s a NEC if that matters any. It was upgraded to Windows XP maybe a couple years ago. It runs quite slow compared to my newer computer. I’ve tried all of those registry cleaners, spyware removers, antivirus, and the like. None of them seem to make any difference at all. I was thinking of wiping the hard drive(not to hide anything). Would this make any difference, and if it does, what program or method should I use to do it without too much hassle?

It will probably give you a performance boost, but remember that it is an older computer, and XP can really bog down machines without enough RAM. Have you considered adding another 256 or 512?

That being said, depending on how secure you want to be, you can just reinstall windows from the disk, taking advantage of it’s option to reformat a partition for itself. If you want to be more secure, do a full format (NOT a quick format) of C: first. If, for some reason, that’s also not good enough, download Boot’n'Nuke, and use that to wipe the drive completely.
