    Yesterday everything was fine. Today I come back from middle school and guess what? I turn on my Pavilion dv6 notebook wait 3 min to all programms to open up and see that my computer is working slowly. My youtube videos are lagging. Like it is kinda freezing.

    When is the last time you did a virus and malware scan?

    Lets run a Check Disk to see if there are ant disk errors
    Click Start
    In the search bar type CMD
    At the top Right Click on CMD and select Run as Administrator
    When the Command Prompt Opens Type chkdsk /r
    It will tell you that you need to reboot press Y
    Close the Window and restart the system.
    Let it run one the system has completely booted depending on the size of HDD it may take a bit to run.
    Follow the instructions on this link to see the outcome of the check.

    Feel free to post the results if you have any questions.

    In addition to Disc Check, run sfc /scannow, do an Extended Disc Clean-up and use CCleaner. I take it ESET & Malwarebytes are coming up clean. Ergo, check for 'errors' & get rid of any 'junk'. Then should be quicker.
