If it is new enough (built withing the last 3-4 years) it may have a restore feature that can be used to flash the harddrive back to it's original state when it left the factory.
If you had protection in place, it just may need to be defragged. Before defraggin, delete all old temp files, cookies, etc....
I hope I am not insulting ya...just trying to help out. Feel free to tell me to but out at any time.
