First off, it doesn't matter how you're connected to the internet, anti-virus is vital, even if it slows you down. I recommend using AVG Free AntiVirus. They have really good protection and you won't notice much of a performance difference, it's really light weight. http://free.grisoft.com. You can go and delete some programs you might not need any more, by going to:
Start-> Settings -> Control Panel
Click Add And Remove Programs
go from there, and remove old programs you don't need.
A disk defragment would help free up a little space and also speed up your computer.
Otherwise, just pick up a new Harddrive and attach it as a slave(secondary) and you can store music/pictures etc. on there.
Hope this helps, contact me if you need help.

You should run an anti-virus - - a virus could be causing your system to run slow.
Try a file compression program like WinZip to reduce your data file sizes.

Delete all unnecessary and large files, use a USB drive
No, no virus would cause that
