Some information about the computer would help - brand and model PC or motherboard.

Have you scanned for malware? Any errors in Device Manager?

Malware=viruses, spyware, etc. Event manager? How does it do in safe mode? System restore point? Any BSODs? Have your drives been defragmented lately? Have you run a checkdisk?

You start hitting f8 while you computer is booting up & you are given a choice as to how you want to boot up. I would try safe mode with networking. Alternatively while running your computer you can hit the reset button and it will give you the same options because in that case you didn't shut your computer down.

malware also equals spyware.

I need more info about your computer than you gave me. Processor type/speed, amount of ram, etc.

You need to defrag all of your partitions. You also need to run a check disk. From my computer cright click on the partition --> properties --> tools --> check now. Check both of the boxes and then hit start.

Malware stands for malicious software which includes a whole range of threats to include viruses, worms, spyware, Trojans, or any other software intent on exploiting vulnerabilities for some ill gotten gains. Some folks include popups, spam, and adware too, but technically, those are just unwanted annoyances and not malicious.
