    I need help with my laptop. It runs extremely slow. I have used many of the off the shelf cleanup programs without much luck. I need some deep cleaning. Does anyone know a source for this problem.

    Thanks

    Sorry to hear this.  Been there-done that.  There are many programs out there that claim to help but I have experienced the same result as you.  Doesn't help much.  My recommendation is, if it's been a while since you last RESTORED your machine back to factory software I recommend you start there (After you back up all your data) then restore, then install the best protective software, anti virus, malware, and spyware software available today.  You will experience a HUGE increase in performance when doing so.

    I did this also with upgrading to a Solid State Drive and it was amazingly fast however 4 weeks later something (malware) got on my machine again and I was back to square one.  I was so frustrated when that happened I went and bought a MacBook Pro.  Problem Solved.  Huge learning curve switching from a PC to Mac but now I love it and will never go back.

    Call me if you need any help.  I can give you several recommendations for data back up and software if needed.

    Good luck
