My internet used to be really quick but now it takes ages. I can't access hotmail via msn, the laptop is constantly making a noise (the fan), when I type it doesn't appear on the screen straight away, when I try and click it'll take a while and it's the same with scrolling. It's like the computer freezes every 3 seconds for 2 seconds then goes again. I can tell it's this long by looking at this smiley  Anyone have any suggestions/advice? Thank you x |

You've got a virus/spyware/malware infection.

how long have you had it ?
Sounds like the hard drive could be on the way out, may have bad sectors.
Other thoughts include problems with spyware or viruses compromising the machine.

I'd say not - fan is running because it's getting hot as the CPU is running all the time which is why the computer is slow. |

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

LOL at Bongo... he obviously knows how much time I spend onl the laptop!
I've had it a year, it was second hand off of my dads mate and it's been perfect up until a week or so ago.
You said spyware/viruses... what is the best way to get rid?
Flushy - I felt underneath the laptop and it's warm but I have noticed it to get boiling sometimes as well as the sides of the laptop by the keys.

Remove everything that it warns you about, it creates a save point so don't worry about what it removes. My lappy gets very hot, in fact every one i've ever owned has (5 now) |

Buggers to open up though.
