You did not say your RAM capacity. Increase it to at least 1Gig.
Are you using internet secure or some thing like that from Norton? Disable. Uninstalling Norton is recommended. It is a hog.
Older versions of Norton were fine. The new sysworks 2006 are the worst.
Did you recently use Norton Ghost? For whatever reason if you did that it slows the computer right down whenever you connect your DSL. Go to 'msconfig' and disable anything resembling Norton's product. But be careful: disabling Ghost causes further headaches.
Do reg clean. Probably (I said probably...!!) the hijack web did not load right and this malware's intention is not fully achieved. So, it is giving trouble. Get rid of it.
Defrag? I hope you did that for your C: This may not be the reason for your prob. but it is worth doing it anyway.
Here is another simple one you never thought of: The DSL cable connector is no good. Replace the cable. Or your ethernet card is malfunctioning. Replace. More than likely it is your e-net card.
You have some major work to do ...... Good luck.

I'd love to see your HijackThis! log. I'm betting something is running.
I'm betting you've got some antivirus that is slowing your system down... for instance, the consumer editions of Norton or McAffee are really awful. I'd revert back to the XP firewall, and turn off the email spam and email virus filtering as an experiment. The XP firewall is just fine for 99% of the users out there. The email virus feature isn't needed either, since any virus that is opened when you get into email is caught by the general AV anyway.

You may have to upgrade your RAM. 512MB or higher is preferable. Here are also few more tips:
1.Make sure that ALL the trash from your computer is being regularly cleaned. Trash doesn't mean only temporary files. I suggest that you download this freeware and run its 'Cleaner' and 'Issues' section to thoroughly clean your computer. Also, go to its Tools > Startup and remove all unnecessary startup entries.
CCleaner : http://www.ccleaner.com/
2.Use minimum possible icons and quick launch icons on your desktop.
3.Keep at least 35% C: free. I guess you have jammed your C:.

run a application like secure practices job supervisor to work out what tactics are actual working while linked to the internet, your antivirus and anti secret agent application won't be detecting some thing it is taking over aspects as that's pointed out as a provider or needed technique particularly than a malicious application....additionally would desire to be which you have your antivirus set to computer screen community data and folders for any adjustments and its scanning the data once you open them and thats inflicting the decelerate....or would desire to purely be which you have alot of history courses runnig and then commencing the data merely provides yet another technique to the checklist and the aspects are getting used up.

could be a virus or adware. Have you gone to Trend Micro and done the downloadable housecall scans to find out what programs have invaded your pc?
Also, depends on how long you've had your pc as something in the motherboard may be dieing, or your writer might be dieing. But, sounds to me like adware.

What about a registry fault? Run a reg repair program, its the next easiest option. If you need a free one go to my site you can get the link there -

you need a full scan and fix, from Microsoft, (its free), takes a while, but well worth it,
