I'm not an expert, but I know of a few things you can try if things don't improve:
1. Switch off the computer, leave for a minute or so, and switch on again.
2. Run your virus protection software (could take a couple of hours).
3. Run scandisk (could take a while, depending on the size of your hard drive).
4. Run defrag (can take what seems like forever; leave it running overnight).I don't know what's making your internet slow; could be any one of several things, but usually I think that kind of thing is caused by your processor doing too many things at one, and switching off and on again fixes it.
I'm sure people who know more will correct me if I'm wrong...
Good luck!
