Computer starting to slow down.

Do you have any anti-adware/spyware software installed? I suggest downloading Ad-aware from Lavasoft and Spybot Search and Destroy and running both of them. If you download "free" software, you can unwittingly install hundreds or even more adware and spyware applications. These will slow your system to a crawl, even if you are using a browser with a pop-up blocker.

Aside from taking the above steps, defragmenting your hard drive and installing additional memory never hurts. Also make sure that your virus scanning software is up to date and running and that you have a working firewall installed.
