Is this a prog that runs in the background all the time???
This'll see if the prog is actually slowing things down.
Try:

START...RUN.... type "Msconfig" (no quotes), click OKAY

click the STARTUP tab

Untick all the progs that you don't need.... A clue to what they are from is in the files location.

Click OKAY to restart...

Restart the computer...

i would recommend trying the above while being disconnected from the internet, or depending on the operating system try the fixes in safe mode (prob better)- failing that, - which version and service pack of windows are you using ? Is your computer slow from starting windows or just when you connect to the internet ?

but more importantly is your data backed up ??? best to make a backup (does not matter how long it takes) before we continue
