If your PC is slowing down, or acting strangely, it's probably infected with malware. Use the link below to learn more about "malware".
Then, you need to install:
ONE Anti-virus (delete ALL others, I use AVG free),

ONE XP Firewall (Zone Alarm),

(Vista version):

AND these 5 Anti-Spyware tools:
Windows Defender

Spybot Search and Destroy
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
Ad-Aware 2007
http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php
Spyware Blaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/downloads.html
cCleaner (technically, not anti-spyware, but very useful)
http://www,ccleaner.com
I use all regularly. Download them, install them and learn how to use them (HINT: Use the Help TAB). (Need more help? Re-post.)
TIP: The apps above can only clean up so much.
As a last resort: Back up all personal data from your PC (copy to CD / DVD / external hard drive). Then, do a Windows "Clean Install", for further instructions, go to: http://www.theeldergeek.com
Note: You must use your Recovery disks, if included with your PC, to avoid driver problems, not a store-bought XP. The Recovery disks may be ON the hard drive, so Read The Friendly Manual FIRST.
