Restarting your computer can quickly address that issue, but we can't say that the lags won't come back again. Upgrading your computer's processor or ram is an another way to address that issue, so it can handle more and large file , simultaneously. One of the most common reason, why your computer turns laggy is, because your computer has lots of unnecessary files or viruses that run in its background.

You can quarantine or delete it, to prevent it from spreading.

There is another way to address the slow computer, without restarting, without reformatting, without downloading any files, without closing some files that runs in background or without scanning it with antivirus. You can use the 'Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks' and it works like a charm.
