My Laptop is slowed down as of yesterday.?

My Spyware Doctor automatically runs scans in the morning and when I'm away my Laptop hybernates. It opened and didn't continue scanning as it was so I shut off my computer (by holding the power button) down as it wouldn't let me do anything else. I re-started and it woldn't go past the "Windows is starting up" screen so I shut it down again the same way and re-started again. It took at least 10 minutes to start and now my Laptop is super slow causing any program I open up to boggle down the CPU Usage and when I'm online my Internet Connection is fine with the exception of any video I watch sounding like it's running slow. I can't copy anything to and from my HDD to my external drives because it wants to take an hour for something that takes 5 minutes and same goes for burning DVD's. When I re-started the second time it said windows didn't close properly but still came back on. I did a Virus Scan that came up clean, Malware scan that came up clean, and cleared my Temp Internet Files etc., and Defragmenting right now which is halfway through at 5 hours running. My Laptop was fine just yesterday before this. I have CCleaner which I used as well but restored the last run hoping it would fix my problem. I don't have anything in my Task Manager draining CPU usage. Says 98 mostly when on idle. I can still download anything fine but when it saves to the PC is when it wants to take way too long. HELP PLEASE!My Laptop is slowed down as of yesterday.?
There are MANY reasons for computer slow downs:

not enough memory

too many programs starting up with windows at boot up time

too many junk files

too many restore points



Clean windows registry can speed up the computer.

Over time, you install new programs, uninstalled unimportant programs, update software's, install new devices,

download files from the web, etcetera, hence embarking all records in the registry system.

This is normal, but it is not wise to leave it untouched.

Once in a while, you have to check and remove files that are no longer in use to maintain the speed of your PC.

Clean registry make pc faster.

If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don't always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task.



First, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.
