    Remove all that kind of spyware and anti virus and programs like that.
    Just install one spyware like MS anti spyware and one anti virus.
    You should them cleanup your system drive with the disk clean up utility.
    Find what kind of programs are starting up when you reboot your system.
    You never should have more than one AV and Anti Spyware.
    Open the task manager and see how many process you have running.
    You should have 40 to 60 process at most.
    :)

    Is the PC on a network or is it a stand alone system?
