Virus Removal Tool

I am in my sophomore year of college, and my laptop computer turns four years old this Christmas. It’s a Toshiba (Satellite series) laptop, and it has started to go pretty slow and sometimes programs stop responding and have to be closed through Task Manager. I think it may just need some more RAM. The hard drive still has plenty of space, and the laptop has never had any serious virus because I don’t go to any weird or questionable sites. I regularly scan it just in case though.

I have been considering buying a new laptop. I would like to stick with a PC just because I don’t want to spend over 0 for a laptop or deal with a Mac in general. It needs to have a reasonable amount of RAM. I don’t need a super high-tech laptop, just one that gets the job done (ie: internet, microsoft programs, etc).

Basically, I am trying to decide what to spend my future Christmas money on: a new laptop; or an external hard drive and possibly some sort of upgrade (ie: RAM).

Should I should get a new laptop or just keep the one that I have? Please let me know what action, and laptop or upgrade you would recommend. I feel like the one that I have now is still in good shape; it just needs some upgrading, but I wasn’t sure what all is possible, or if it’s just a better use of my money at this point to buy a new laptop. Thanks!
