Answer 1

Not every malfunction with a computer or a program is related to a Malware infection. Many of the problems are due to the computer needing to be "Uncluttered". This include cleaning the Browser Cache, Temp. Windows Files, Prefetch Files, Defragmenting the Hard Drive.

Cleaning your computer.

Clean your Browser Cache:

Tools>Internet Options>General tab>Delete Cookies, Files (check mark the box for OFFline Content in the window that appears) and Clear History buttons.

If using IE 7, after the General Tab go to the Browsing History area and click Delete. Now delete the Items here.

Go to the Settings button and change the number to 50.

Clear Temp. Windows Files:

Exit all running programs, including browser, except your AV and AS programs. Exiting these might be necessary later (not usually).

Start>Run> type "%temp%" (no quotes)>OK>in the menu bar go to "Edit" click Select All>in the expanded menu select Delete or right click on the pane with the files highlighted and select Delete. When finished Close window.

Cleaning Prefetch:

Do the same as for Windows Temps. except type PREFETCH.

Check your HD for Defragmenting:

Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools> Disk Defragmenter.
