Slow process..
Only 2 factors..
1) Your machine has a virus
2) Hardware problems (Harddisk, Video Card, Motherboard, Memory, etc).
For virus, i suggest that you do an online virus/spyware scan.

Or any free antivirus online scan (try searching google for the link
on mcaffee, etc).
If its hardware, best bet is to bring it to a shop for diagnostics. Or
if you are a techy, diagnose it one by one.

may have to reboot
also when when did you last defrag or scan disk?
start
my computer
right click - on C drive
left click - on properties
under GENERAL tab - click disk cleanup
under TOOLS tab - click error checking
then - place a check in both boxes - click start
under TOOLS tab - click defragment now
then click analyze
then click defragment
do this at least once a month!
possible spyware - go to www.lavasoft.com
download freeware called Ad-aware
will scan your computer and quarentine or remove the boogies.
also the new Yahoo! IE7 has a free Norton Spyware scan
On the Y! line just to the right of the 'search web' - its the yellow target - click here, click full scan, and then run
best of luck

Run a Spyware scan using Spybot Search N Destroy (link below) download the latest updates and do a complete scan.
Also make sure that your Antivirus is up to date and run a complete scan

three things can be causing this
virus
all u can do is run a spyware/virus scan
need more RAM
if ur running windows xp it recommends that u have 512 mb of ram...if u dont have this amt. i suggest upgrading

try a defrag once and a while, also clean out temorary files, Internet History etc.
good luck i hope this helps u!

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.

run your anti spy and virus software, un install any programs you don't use or need and make sure your fans are all working inside and dust out your inside also with compressed air. Then do a scandisk and disk defragment on your system.
