Currently I use Lenovo G62 laptop which runs on Windows 7 Home Premium. It has a 3 GB RAM and Intel i5 processor. Also Ubuntu 12.04 is installed along side Windows.
For some days my laptop is really slow. It takes more time to boot and applications to open. When asked to friends, they told about some softwares to improve system performance.
Which software is best to increase the performance ? I would like to have a free and advanced software with the most number features.

Or upgrade your CPU, add an SSD, etc. – Indrek – 2014-04-02T17:47:25.290
You're not interested in making sure there is no malware causing performance issues? Or a virus? If software is out of the question, then you are left with only hardware upgrades. – CharlieRB – 2014-04-02T17:48:33.320
@CharlieRB No malware or virus is causing any problem because I use Avast antivirus. – TomJ – 2014-04-02T17:52:47.013
you should use appropriate software to discover the reason for the issue (eg are you out of ram, how hot is your CPU, what is your average CPU load, is your hdd healthy, etc), and then take appropriate action (buy ram, clean out dust, shut down running programs, replace disk, etc). – Frank Thomas – 2014-04-02T17:53:12.930
1@Tom, it is not safe to assume you have no malware just because you have an antivirus suite. – Frank Thomas – 2014-04-02T17:54:13.750

Not all antivirus programs remove malware/spyware/adware. You should really consider running something specific to it like SUPERAntispyware. Malicious software can play havoc on your system performance.
