Suddenly opening things is slower
Alright, so I have this bad problem on my laptop. I have had it for about a year now, and nothing bad has happened to it, apart from one virus about half a year ago, which was supposedly wiped off my system.
As of now, whenever I open something up, it loads REAL slow. For example, when I open up my documents folder from my hot tab, it loads really slow. It actually fades into the screen, as if there is an effect on all of it. But not just that, my google chrome that I use suddenly looks different, and everything is slower. It may just be the internet, but I don't know.
I could not tell if it was slow for any other applications though, just this one. Everything is much slower, say when I open my browser everything is as if it is not slow motion, and lagging. The letters I type in seem to be okay, if a little laggy at first.
I don't know if this is a virus, or a setting in my computers configuration I may have accidently flicked. Right now, I am running my anti-virus (McAfee) but I suspect it will not come up with much, and it will take a long time to process. (My virus protection seems to be running slow too... uh-oh?)
I desperately require assitence, as I have no idea what this is and I hope it is not a virus! Please help. D:
EDIT: Everything got even slower as I edited this post... oh damn I am worried...
