How can I tune-up my SQL installation

Hi,

I have SQL desktop version installed and for the last few days it has really slowed down. I have ran many anti-virus etc. and all is okay on that front.

Any tips regarding how I can tune things up? What should I look for and how do I go about it. Deleting LOG etc. etc?

Please guide.

Thanks.There are many good tips here:

But as referred that website is an ocean of goodies for SQL performance.
