The most likely thing happening to ur computer is a virus attack. Have you got an antivirus installed? if not, try and get one installed. Also installing a lot of programs may slow down your pc if you've not got enough RAM and processing speed. In any case, the best solution to your problem is to clean-format your computer and reinstall your operating system and programs
