So the first thing to do is to cleanup you temporary files and recycle bin. Remove any unwanted temporary internet files and defragment your hard drive.

Once this is done go to www.google.com and search for an online scanner like Housecall by trendmicro. Initiate the scan from the following link

you should surely notice an improvement.
