Answer 1

the most common cause of slow/laggy computers is spyware/malware. most anti-virus programs don't detect these bundled within downloads because they don't actually contain malicious code. try downloading ad-aware (http://lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_fr... and spybot s&d along with the updates for it (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/downl...

as for the crypt.morphine got to http://www.spywareremove.com/removeCrypt... for details on how to remove it.

The same thing happened to me.  This product is excellent, and I tried it for free.  It is so frustrating working with a slow computer, I hate that.  I hope this works for you!
