I'm very new to all of this so please be patient.:) not sure i'm in right forum. I got a netbook and my husband had downloaded some things that weren't necessarily awful or virus ridden but my computer has slowed down exponentially since. a friend of mine, who said they knew how to fix it, supposedly ran a diagnostic and told me he cleaned up the "messes" and updated my system. however, since then, I can barely get any of my normal programs to work and forget about getting online without massive delays. (this message alone has taken forever to write). I cannot enable my windows security center. previously I was able to run the defrag program and I was pretty faithful about deleting temp files, caches, etc. all on the very basic level of course. I can't even run the defrag program now. is there any hope? what steps can I take to remedy my situation? thanks in advance for any help offered
