Most people got you covered on Virus.
To speed up, add more RAM if you can (Not free though). Then you can try some of the things mentioned here;

Find your OS on the left.
He just started doing Vista and will probably have more added in time.
Remember, if you not know what you doing, write it down, so, you remember how to change back if there a problem.

-avg anti-virus
free computer speed up:
- ccleaner
both available on http://www.download.com
ps: spybot is old and not that good anymore.
Use adaware, and make sure to update. Spyware blaster is another unmissable tool that prevents spyware to get onto your pc in the first place.

I use AVG (free.grisoft.com).
Also, you might have some adware, so I would download Lavasoft's Ad-Aware, too.

Yes. Remove Windows; install Ubuntu Linux ( http://www.ubuntu.com ) or another good Linux distribution. Voilà -- both problems solved, for free!
