try and do a system restore. I think that would work. It could be a semi-last resort.
Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> System Restore
try and go back to the day when it was working fine before you installed the smiley program. It should be fine. Don't go back to far or you'll lose your files and data.

Restore your system back to the day before adding anything that you put in your question. Then add them one at a time, do one a day..... When you start slowing down again you will know which one is the culprit. And you restore back to the day before and leave that one off... Before doing the restore, run a spy delete program and defrag your system to see if that will help... if it does you don't need to do the restore.
To do a restore go to Start, programs, accessories, system tools and System restore and choose a date in a dark color... that is a restore point.
You won't lose any data... it just restores your system files..

Was it Smiley Central?? Horrid programme full of spyware.
Try running a full scan with something like Housecall or Panda - and run Spybot to get rid of all the nasties.

Have you ever heard of "msconfig"? Type this in your "run" dialog box and...well...it would be easier if i walked you through it. It basically gives you the option of canceling hidden programs from starting up when you first log in and stealing your memory. Email me your yahoo messenger name and ill help you. ssiicckkoo@yahoo.com

did you try disk defragmenter?
or try rebooting your laptop if its still slow contact your seller, if its fast then install and restart the laptop for every update you've download until you've got the answer
