My Laptop Computer is very slow, even though I clean & defrag it every day! How can I help this?
Any number or reasons. Windows tends to be fast when you buy it. When you start to load stuff it slows down. When malware gets installed it really slows down. When bad drivers get installed it may slow down or stop working. I tend to suggest that you return it to OEM state by recovery means stated in owners manual. I do that all the time. By the time I fool with trying to figure out what is wrong I could have the thing back to new and perfect again.
You don't need to defrag windows 7 usually.

Did it come with Windows 7 or was this an upgrade?
Have you updated your drivers?
How much memory is installed? Can you add more?
Use msconfig Start tab and uncheck programs from starting with windows, just leave MS, Windows, and antivirus (you can add some back later) then restart and see if that helps.You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Its better to format your hard drive, but before that take the backup of your data otherwise your data will be lost and you can recovery your lost data with the help of data recovery software.
I didn't upgrade it. I don't know my system specifications.
I think I've fixed my problems now.
