There are a few things you might check. Run an anti-virus and anti-spyware program. Also, you might try deleting files out of your cache. You can do this by clicking tools in your browser, then going to internet options. Then delete files in your temporary internet files. This will help clear up the cache. You might also try clicking the settings there and allowing more space for storage of these files. That may help clear up your problem.

Restart daily to increase your cache memory. Use disk fragmenter to defrag your hard drive. Update yopur RAM and try using a dial accelerator.

You may have a virus or you just need to clear your history. If you need a good anti-virus, I recommend Avast Anti-Virus. I would also recommend getting Ad-Aware to clean up your cookies and such. Both programs can be downloaded at www.download.com and they work great and are free! Good Luck!

Probably a trojan horse like a data miner. What it does is overload your computers memory making it slower. You can be cheap and slow or buy a antivirus program and fast.

I use a history clearer called "crapcleaner". It is free and seems to make my computer run a little quicker. I also scan for viruses frequently and use a free spyware deleter.
