I tried everything from virus scanning, to cleaning out the registry, and defragging. I even scanned all the drives for errors, and there is absolutely no difference whatsoever. I can't do a reformat unless I buy a disk because my computer didn't come with a Windows XP disc, and it's very expensive, so I don't want to go that route unless I have to, but I'd much rather not. I hope someone out there can help me. I was hit with a virus of some kind, but now my computer is completely clean. I just don't know why it's running so slow, and it starts up so slowly. It effects everything from the internet speed to the overall speed of the computer, and it's very annoying. I even installed more RAM a few months ago, and the computer has over 600 MB of RAM. I even added an additional drive for storage. It was fast at first, but lately it's been going very slow. Any help would be very much appreciated thank you!

update #1
I updated all the Anti Virus definitions and there's plenty of free space on the C Drive, as for virtual memory it says Recommended: 945 MB, and Minimum allowed: 2MB. Currently allocated is 945. I hope that helps.
