Avast is another good one like this poster said. And for spyware theres something called malwarebytes. I thought that was a good one. I only had one problem in the past with that program.

- rebooted? (this will clear your virtual memory cache, freeing up more of your hard drive to act as slower, extended RAM)
- run Disk Cleanup and Defrag utilities?
- run a virus scan? (Avast! is good and free)
- run a spyware scan? (Adaware, Spybot Search & Destroy)
- shut down unnecessary processes? (is your task bar - where the clock is in the lower right - full of icons?)
How much RAM do you have installed? Which operating system are you running? Have you backed up your files, lately?!
