If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don't always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task.

First, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.

2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how:

1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser

2. Click Start, click "Control Panel", and then double-click "Internet Options".

3. On the General tab, click "Delete Files" under Temporary Internet Files.

4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the "Delete all offline content" check box , and then click OK.

5. Click OK.

3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by alter your msconfig. Here is how:

1. Open your Start menu.

2. Click Run

3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe"

4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab

5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using.

6. Click "OK"

this might help:

1 Disk Cleanup

2 Defragment

3 Virus/Spyware/Malware scan

4 Windows Update

5 Turn off unecessary startup programs

6 uninstall unnecessary programs

7 disk check or chkdsk [via run command]

*BTW, onecare doesn't have a really big database of viruses yet so try downloading a new antivirus like AVAST, AVG or Avira.. Download an antispyware/antimalware too like Spybot S&D, Malwarebytes antimalware and SUPERantispyware..

If you have a lot of pictures on your laptop, then maybe that's the reason, because pictures take up ALOT a space, trusst me ! And, if you watch alot of videos on youtube, then that will be the problem right there, youtube takes up about , 12 gb of your computer space thats ALOT ! AND , when you download songs, delete them after you have listend to them, or put them on a cd or ipod.

Thats what i would sudjest you do what i said, it worked for me! Your welcomee , XOX : EmmaTHEauthor.
