Thread dredge:
I gave a young relative an old but functional Dell laptop some months back. I reinstalled the software to remove all my stuff and installed some freebie anti virus software.
The laptop is now running really slow, probably as a result of all the adaware, toolbars and other crap that's found it's way into the machine.
So, question is, how do I go about restoring it to it's original condition and getting the performance back. There's nothing of value stored on the machine so a fresh install is not a problem if that's the favoured solution.
