1. Go to Start --- Run --- Type "msconfig" Enter --- Go to Startup --- Remove all programs on the list. Save and Apply. Restart later.
2. Go to Start --- All Programs --- Accessories --- System Tools --- Disk Cleanup --- Remove all including temporary internet files.
3. Restart the computer
4. Go to http://www.free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us... and download AVG antivirus. Download updates and scan your harddrive.
5. Follow step 4 except go to http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl... then download from Safer Network and install Spy Bot Search and Destroy. Download updates and scan your computer.
6. If that remains unfix, you need to get more system memory.

Allow yourself a little time and run through this checklist. I'm sure it will help.
1. Set wallpaper and screensavers to blank or none — they run continuously in the background and use memory.
-----right-click on the desktop, select Properties
-----click the screensaver tab, on the left where it says "screensaver," select none.
-----click the desktop tab, for background, select none
2. Review your start menu – remove anything you don’t need on a daily basis — load games, etc. on an as-needed basis.
-----click Start, Settings, Taskbar and Start Menu
-----click the Start Menu tab
-----select a program you do not want to load at Startup, then click remove.
-----Caution -- do not touch anything you are not sure of or you will mess up your computer royally.
3. From Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options: delete cookies, delete files (offline), and clear history. (You can also set days to store history to 0.)
----- These actions will clear your computer’s cache. (For a description of cache, go to http://help.yahoo.com/l/ph/yahoo/mail/access/access-27210.html )
4. Run Disk Cleanup, Scandisk, Defrag at least every two weeks (the more frequently they are run, the less time they take).
-----These can be found in Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools.
5. Periodically, click Start, Programs, Run — then type ipconfig renew
(that’s ipconfig space renew).
6. Optional: Speed vs Goodies — in the Control Panel, System, Advanced, Performance, Settings — you can have visual effects or let Windows select the best options. I am using “Best Performance.” Your choice.
These things should increase speed and free up memory as much as possible.

just a couple of extras on top of teleprovs answer.
go to start, accessories, system tools and do a disk defragment after the disk cleanup. Then in addition to spybot, download SUPERAntispyware through Google and install. This program I have used in addition to spybot and it has found problems that spybot did not find. Apart from that I cant see anything else that Teleprov could tell you
