These are great programs to install and run to remove spyware and other such harmful things.
AVG free antivirus

TrendMicro (online)

Ad-aware

Spybot Search and Destroy

Windows Defender (for registered windows users)

Also for start up slowness you can turn off certain things from your start up.. This takes a little technical knowledge but..
Start
Run
type msconfig
enter
new window opens click the tab that says start up
and anything in there that looks weird or is not something you use, you can deselect... Things that have weird names like just random letters can be viruses and you will want to uncheck those and run a virus scan.. Trend micro is good for that which is in the list above

go to start, accessories and tools look for the disk cleaner and get rid of junk,, then go back to the same but look for the defragmenter and defrag the hard drive,, your data gets really spaced out when you add and delete etc,,,, after that you need to look at all the programs that are being opened when you start up,, this is too involved to explained here,,

It is likely to be a spyware issue but could be a hardware issue like overheating, for example.
Start by running a scan at http://housecall.trendmicro.com and download AVG antispyware from http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-spyware-free
Then restart your computer in safe mode and run AVG antispyware scan.

You might have spyware that is using resources and memory
Try running an anti-spyware such as adaware.
