My laptop is so slow at the moment.
It's not the internet, it's the actual machine.
I've have McAfee anti virus and have done a full scan and nothing is showing up.
Any advice on anything else I should do?
Thanks.

Have you tried a Disk Cleanup and a Defrag ?


Thanks.

A bit of Mr. Sheen! Could be a bit of dust. I sprayed some on mine and it's going like the clappers now.

Hey Blipper. When is your next CS meet up? I enjoyed meeting you all last time. You were all mega-friendly & chilled out.
