If so, then you have a Smitfraud infection and a free removal tool called SmitFraudFix with the removal procedure is here:
http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix_En.php
More infomation and another free removal tool called RogueFix can be found here:

Most "All-Purpose" malware apps such as AVG, Norton, Spybot etc unforturnatly can not remove this vile pest called Smitfraud.
Good luck.

First of all, without knowing what Stuff is, and who IT is, it's a little hard to answer your question. You have a lot of variables. Did you just buy the computer yesterday?, do you complete a lot of searches?, are you using dial up, or high speed?. Here is several possible answers: make sure you have a pop up blocker, and it is on. You have to clear your Cache, and Cookies. You should have a registry cleaner, and you must De frag. Make sure you have a good security program, also, check to see if you have enough memory on your computer to handle what you are trying to do. I hope this helps. With more information, I could give you exact answers.

more than likely the thing that is slowing down your computer is the program that you use to scan your computer,just uninstall it and see if it runs faster.

simply format, it will get rid of absolutly everything on your PC, so you might want to back up you data that you want to keep. And for computer-sake, do not get Vista.
