Why has my laptop slowed down lately?
I don't have any viruses, I run defrag, clean up and all that stuff every week, all my drivers and windows things are up to date. My laptop is clean and dusted frequently. It is a bit old but in good shape. I have a Toshiba Satellite if that helps. It's mostly my browser that's slowed, I have reset my modem and router often, and dusted them too. I called Comcast but all they tell me is that things look normal on their end that it must be my computer. Is it just because it's a bit old? It's about 5 years or so.

Well your internet speed shouldnt slow down because of a older computer, but if you are positively sure that your ISP is providing a fast service to you and it's still slow. Try rebooting your computer, as doing so will refresh your RAM (having it on too long or in stand by is bad for your RAM). Now a days, its best to have *atleast* 4 GB of RAM, and a 2.4 Ghz CPU or better. If you dont know how much you have, then download and install PC Wizard and check.
