Ok I dont know much about computers but I have a Dell Inspiron 5150 and its pretty nice. Its about 2 years old but it has gotten really freaking slow recently. I mean I dont use it for much, no games or anything, I download a song here and there from time to time but I have used up very little of the hardrive. Mainly its used for just talking online or hittin up the web and writing papers of course (college student). I have Mcafee antivirus and also use Spybot and Adaware for spyware. I dont look at porn or anything and do the usual maintenance about once a week. Anyone got any ideas about whats slowing it down? Thanks in advance.

You may have crap load of spyware on there that is running behind the scenes and using up your resources. Go to download.com and type in "adaware se" in the search download that and run it that may help with it. Real quick, you could hit Alt Ctrl Delete, look at the bottom, and see how much of you CPU percentage is being used.

18% is not to horrible that really should not slow down your computer that much. If it was like 60% and higher when it brings the machine to a crawl. Hmm if you defragged and all, sometime to if it been a over a year a reformat of your hard drive and reinstall of you operating systems blows out all the little bug and what not.

Check how many processes you are running, if you don't know how to do this let me know. It's true that 18% isnt horrible but its higher than it should be. Mine is overclocked and loaded and I'm running between 3%-5%. Oh, BTW, you should be running in the low 20's as far as processes.
That was the other think I was thinking. I try to reformat at least once every 6 months. It used to be every 3 months, but I'm not that hardcore anymore ;)
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
