My laptop is really slow-any suggestions???

[jimmer]

I haven't a clue about computers so please write all advice in plain english.

For the last week or so, my laptop has been really really slow.

I'm sat on a cash game table on Pokerstars and I probably lose connection around 2 times per rotation.

Any ideas?

have you scanned for viruses and spyware? If that dosn't fix it, try defragging your hard drive.
