A more likely cause of that slowdown is add ware/spy ware and/or
viruses. If you do not have them, download "Ad-Aware SE Personal
edition" [http://www.lavasoft.com/] AND "Spybot, Search and Destroy"
[http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html] which are free
.. After you install them, immediately update them and then scan your
system. After that, fully update your Anti-Virus Program [I hope you
have one] and immediately scan your system.
