That's a very good idea. Viruses can make the computer really slow. You should scan your PC.

If no virus is found,why don't you try sfc /scannow? To do that,open a command prompt with administrator privileges and type:
sfc /scannow

Let us know about the situation.

thanks for your reply.
I ran 'sfc /scannow', it failed, so I followed some tricks and it was done successfully.
I'm defragmenting it now, I'll restart and tell you later

Do you have an anti-virus program?
There's lots of good ones free online.
When my PC starts acting up I run Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, an anti-virus remover then Ccleaner.
All are free downloads.

If this doesn't fix the problem I do a System Restore setting my PC back a few days before the problem started.
