Laptop is running really slow :-(

sunni

My laptop is running really slow and Windows C drive has hardly any free space! Would this be the reason it's running slow? I've been moving stuff to data D drive.

Laptop is Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Core i3, 3GB and I've ran CCleaner/Malwarebytes/Avast.

Anything else I can check/do?

no -- backup, factory restore/reinstall windows

So is it runnning slow because C drive has hardly any space left?

cleanup with the tools above/move data to d, but it will probably not change the speed

C drive says 3.78 GB free of 149 GB.

I done ccleaner earlier. Do you actually scan/fix issues in the 'Registry' tab in ccleaner?

no, just the clean temp files.

In cleaner other things are ticked ie. cookies, index.dat files, recent documents, run (in start menu), thumbnail cache, temporary files, clipboard, memory dumps, chdsk file fragments - whatever is ticked I just leave it as it is and run cleaner?

unitick windows log files.

if you've run it already, it's not going to make much difference.

windows log files wasn't ticked - logging into gmail takes ages!!
