What is wrong with my laptop?

It's running very very slowly. This all happened over night. One day it was
working fine, the next it was being difficult. Windows take a long time to
pop up, when going into my computer a little torch comes up searching for
files which it never did before, the internet windows take a particularly
long time, the screensaver pops up even though I'm doing things on screen,
and DVD's will not play properly. They skip and the audio doesn't match up
with the visual - which again, this was working fine one day and the next
just wasn't working at all. The computer is generally running like it's
working really hard doing something else, which it isn't, or shouldn't be.
I've done several virus checks with different programs. I have something to
do with 'system32' in my virus chest, I don't think it's related to any of
this though. I have freed up disc space, defragmented the computer and have
done a system restore to about a month ago. Still, the problem persists. I
can't have my laptop running like this...I can't go without my laptop for a
long period of time - I need it for Uni. This is causing me unendurable
stress. Help!!
 
Defrag helps but run disk clean-up before.If youre getting the flashlight
