Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
Rebooting might help. I find after a few days, mine gets slow and I have to restart. No big deal. If that doesn't work, it's time for a virus/spyware scan.
Also, it might be your internet browser. If you're using Internet Explorer, I would strongly suggest you switch to Firefox. It's faster, and it's safer. You can find it at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Good luck. If none of those work or you need more elabouration on what I suggested, feel free to let me know. I might have a few other tricks up my sleeve.

Well one very important thing to do if you think it has a virus is scan it for them. No, the photos you've uploaded only share files or documents and could not interfere with your internet speed. I find, sometimes that if I'm in one part of the house, it's slower than others depending on the connection. Do you have a lot of programs running at the bottom of your screen? If so, maybe close a few. Because if there are around 3 or 4 it slows down. And finally, make sure you've been on safe sites. Porn etc. will make your computer slow down or ruin it. Don't click on any popups such as the ones that say "YOU ARE THE 100TH VISITOR TO THIS SITE CLICK TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT!" or "NAME THIS CELEBRITY AND WIN A PINK RAZOR CELL PHONE FREE AND A LAPTOP OF YOUR CHOICE!" They ruin your computer. Good luck!
