Sigh, the ventilation on my laptop turns itself on and runs for hours. And it`s freaking loud. Now I don`t think that`s normal, the running all the time that is. The noise seems to be a trademark of this model. Also my working speed - everything I try to do, opening files, programes, shifting files, running certain operations - everything takes a shitload of time suddenly. I freed up more space on the harddrive, more than enough really, still not much effect. I`m having the sneaking suspicion my compi runs programes it isn`t supposed to and slows me down that way but how can I figure this out? Any ideas? I could deal with the slowness but the neverending ventilation is unbearable.

I second Spybot. I use that frequently.

ETA: You can download Spybot for free here.

I run it about once a week or so. I usually run my virus check and Spybot just before bed or I set both to run while I'm sleeping. The next night I do a disk check (set to run while I'm sleeping), and then the next night I do a disk defrag. (I do all of this about once a week, but sometimes about every two weeks.)
