shite runs slow and hot as frick. I run anti-virus on the reg (Malwarebytes and Security Essentials), and defrag on the reg...shite still unbelievably slow.

What can I do?

blow it out - you need to put a paper clip into the fan to stop it from spinning (it can overspeed and fail) then hit with compressed air.

Please give the specs if you can, the brand and model number if you cannot.

if it is a few years old the best bet is to reformat and start over

I presume you have ran malware and virus scans, a utility like ccleaner or glary etc
