I have a Acer Aspire. About 3 years old and its been a pretty good laptop so far, but here lately its gotten really lagging/bogged down. Im somewhat computer illiterate. Im thinkin my problem is with spyware/adware or whatever. I use Google Chrome ( good? ) and Ill have on average around 5 or 6 tabs open, but only 2 or 3 are being used. Everything will be working fine, then out of know where it will get laggy. Tabs delay being opened until about 15-30 secs after clicking them. Also Shockwave Flash has been crashing alot. Any ideas?
