My computer is moving extremely slow and I'm afraid that there are viruses, spyware, adware or something that is slowing it down. I have Microfsoft Antispyware and Spybot and it helps a little but not much. I have Windows XP and it's slow when starting up. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

How much RAM do you have in your computer?
Do you have any anti-virus programs? If so do a full search with them - AVG is a free antivirus program.

Also try 'unchecking' unwanted items at start up, run disk cleanup if you havent and cleanout the junk, defragment your HDD. Also as tripb said, maybe if you run too many applications and your RAM is insufficient this may happen.
