Try using programs such as Ad-a-ware to remove any spyware/adware on your computer that might be taking up CPU cycles away from you. Also try programs such as SpyBot: Search & Destroy to possibly catches other spyware/adware that Ad-a-ware might have missed.
However, to ensure that nothing is on your computer, backup all your data from your computer and re-install your OS from scratch, individually re-installing programs that you know you want on your computer.
The other method would be to uninstall programs you are no longer using but doing that will sometimes leave a footprint on your harddrive that could affect other programs.

You'd normally use the restore disks that came w/ your PC.
You might wanna check your AV -- if you've got some monster AV that does tons of things -- ie, Norton or McAffee (home editions) -- then I'd uninstall the firewall and antispam features (or add a ton of RAM).
Also make sure you're free of viruses and spyware.

to restore your system files to an earlier date (which might fix your problem) go to start-> programs-> accessories-> system tools-> system restore
then just follow the on-screen instrustions and then pick and earlier date to revert to.
