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),
http://www.free.grisoft.com/doc/downloads-products/us/frt/0?prd=aff
ONE XP Firewall (Zone Alarm),
http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/company/products/trial_zaFamily/trial_zaFamily.jsp?dc=78lts&ctry=CA&lang=en
(OR the 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 ("Backup" means: 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 disk. The Recovery disks may be ON the hard drive, so Read The Friendly Manual FIRST to find out how to make your own Recovery disks, if it's not already too late.
Final TIP: Use Firefox instead, IE should ONLY be used for Windows Updates. To Secure Firefox:
