ooer, blimmin computers!!

not sure what crap my kids have been on (cartoon/games sites) but ive been having problems with the laptop for months now and its driving me insane! it crawls at a snails pace! ive done the usual of emptying me cache/deleting temp files/defrag harddrive/virus spam scan etc; ive also got rid of google chrome and mozilla which the kids had somehow downloaded which has helped - it now only takes a couple of minutes to start up instead of 10 minutes!!
if i click on a link (like the one hevs posted in her post about bieng on tv) i get an internet reconnection pop up - im still connected to the internet, but when i go to file the 'work offline' box is ticked ... i just click on the 'x', i dont try and reconnect cos i know im not actually disconnected - it just seems to happen when i click on a link :confused:

anyone have any words of wisdom? (apart from dont let kids near laptop? :crazy: :lol: )

Do you have enough spare space on the Hard Drive. One of our systems was down to 250mb the other day, and that was going slow.
