I've only had my laptop for 1.5 years and it's gotten slower and it's making loud noises. Like an engine or something. So I need to know how to make it go back to normal. It's pissing me off. Any ideas? Do I have viruses? What's a good anti virus program? Also should I clean the dust out? How?

Assuming the problem wasn't present at start of purchase...you should try and clean the dust in your laptop. That should be the first step.

Next would be check the fans. Then it will be check the thermal paste.

maybe there is a baby lodged in your cd slot? I think you should quickly check and return it to its mother

Are you at all technologically inclined? You don't seem so, and if this is the case...

Take it to be repaired.
