My broadband connection appears to be running a lot slower than usual so I'm wondering if there are any regular procedures I should be going through to keep the laptop running smoothly? Should I regularly be deleting ccokies etc to help?

I HAD SAME PROBLEM RECENTLY,MINE WAS RUNNING SLOW AND IT WAS DOWN TO NORTON SECURITY WHICH I REMOVED INSTALLED A FREE BLUEYONDER SECURITY FROM THEIR WEBSITE AND HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE SINCE,IF YOU CANT DO THIS CHECK YOUR SECURITY SETTINGS THEY MAY BE TO HIGH.
