For used computer, I usually run AVG Antivirus and Adaware.
Then I download autoruns (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html) to see what's running.
I then disable (through autoruns or by setting the option in each programs) what I don't want running, so the boot up is faster & computer runs smoother...
autoruns also comes in handy when there's no easy way to disable a program that auto-launches on bootup

Clean the inside too... Open it up, touch bare metal part of the case with your hands to discharge from your hands, unplug it, remove the CPU fan and video card fan (they unscrew easily) and clean them out with cloth and/or qtips. Roughly remove any heavy dust buildup with a slightly-moist cloth. You can then take computer outside & then using a bellows, just blow out all the dust. Vacuum is another way, but some say that it generates static electricity that can damage chips.

The best and sure way to cleanup is format and reinstall.

Cleanup the Nasty entries and double-check the Unknown ones.
