it's sleepier than I am!

My computer has, in the last two months, become so sloooooowwwww. Slow enough that it took it about twelve minutes to go from hibernate to active this morning.

I will bake a loaf of bread (or make an apple pie) for any person willing to come over and try to fix my poor slow laptop, Half-n-Clowns, in situ. Is it spyware? Viruses? programs not updated enough? something horrible and hardware-related that costs more than the computer itself?

Or maybe it just needs coffee. Do I pour it right on the keyboard or hook up a USB (Universal StarBucks) port?

Ad-Aware is a good spyware removal utility, and free.

My dad's computer died this sort of slow death, but he's pretty incompetent and refused to let me help, so I have no idea what the problem might have been.
