well first you have to see how much memory you have. Secondly then see how fast your CPU speed is. Sometimes your computer may not be able to keep up with multiple programs, so try looking at the hardware side of it as well. Maybe even your system resources.

Go to Accessories --> System Tools --> System Restore.
Then restore it to a couple months before.
That works everytime I get a virus :)
You should also stop trying to install these virus scans b/c obviously they're making your computer slower!

Qwerty is right.
Running a virus scan can make your computer go slower. But how much RAM do you have? You might need to buy a gig of ram to make your computer more efficient.

A friend of mine had this problem and I just did a system restore. Try that if you haven't already

Well first of all, how old is your computer? Also, check the memory of your computer.
