Search for a program called malware bytes. CCleaner won't find what you are looking for. I would still agree to run CCleaner anyway.

If you have installed any software you have torrented, or use "freeware", it's highly likely you installed some bloatware that can slow you down if you just hit "next" throughout the entire installation without reading what you are agreeing to.

Malware bytes is free
ccleaner is free

Click start> Type msconfig in search> Enter> Go to startup tab
Un-check(Unnecessary program) those option which you don't require at the time of starting windows and click OK, then restart. That will help you in booting your laptop faster.
Also, check with Malwarebytes for any malware causing problem in your laptop. Most of the things you download using torrent may contain harmful data, so it is always recommended to give a virus check after downloading. I would also suggest you to get a simple paid antivirus program(Bit Defender or any other) for better security of your machine from harmful parasites of internet.
