Help with slow pc!!

I have got a friends pc to repairs he Basicly told me to speed it up as it takes 5mins on the windows welcome screen, it will take around 5mins to load a Word document if it ever does! spec below

Intel pentium 2.00ghz
1gb ram
Windows basic 32bit
500GB 5400RPM
5 users

So far I have run malware bytes and got rid of 300 odd adware Trojans etc.. I have also run ccleaner and defragger and there is no change to speed!

Any ideas of what to do now guys?

Thanks
