I have a 2.4 gig processor and 2 gb of RAM. I am running XP pro. My computer sometimes is extremely slow and freezes. I am running Norton 360 and A Squared. I also have Super Antispyware, Spybot, Malwarebytes, IObit Security 360, and Registry Booster that I run on a regular basis, but are not active all the time. My system shows up clean. I'm wondering if there's something running in the background that's slowing down my computer and causing it to freeze from 5 to 20 seconds at a time. I have Belarc Advisor, so someone can see what my system has installed on it.
My wife and I are the only ones using the computer. I am fairly computer literate, but I can't figure out what is going on.
I need some help!
