It could be a number of things…
1. Ensure your antivirus is running and up to date
2. Try defragging your computer (its under your administrator tools)
3. It could be Mal-ware or spy-ware which can be difficult to remove. Lavasoft makes a free one called Ad-Aware. I like it alot, but it is more preventative in nature. If you are infected you may have to find a reputable computer repair shop to get it fixed.
Good luck!!

Is your computer getting slower or your internet?

you got to get ram if thats not the problem you got to get a better hard drive. (start with the ram) and put it in your computer with not a lot of friction cause if it has a lot of friction then it frys and when you put it into your mother board it frys any then your down $150 so try to do it right my brother tryed to put ram into my computer and there was to much friction so my mother board fryed and i have to spend $150 just to fixes something my brother broke.

If you have windows xp, go to start/all programs/accessories/system tools and open disk defragmentor. Click analyze and if it says “you should defragment this drive” click defragment. If you have more than one hard drive, repeat these steps for each. If the problem is still there you should increase the virtual memory (ram).

Every time you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you’ve installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it’s Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Registry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!
