Answer 3

First, I would get Ad-aware or Spyware Doctor. Then I would run a scan for spyware.

Another thing you can do, you can defragment your pc.

If you have XP:

Open My Computer

Right click on C Drive

Select Properties

Click Tools Tab

Select Defragment Now

Make sure to close all programs before starting to defragment, even the background ones, like messenger.

I don't have Vista, but I'm assuming it's similar to Windows XP. Otherwise, you can just Google defragment and your operating system.

This is all I can suggest. Hope it helps!
