First - DON'T use any of those apps which claim to 'clean' your Mac, speed up your Mac, etc.


There are a number of things which can slow your Mac down - anything from failing hardware to third-party software. Are you running Mavericks (your profile shows you running 10.6.2 - I assume that's old?).


See -> Mac Performance Guide & Tuning Mac OS Performance.


Good luck,
