[Ham-Computers] XP PRO SLOW PROBLEM(s) ~ UPDATE!

[Mike]

Glad you found the culprit Gene.

Download the free version of Avast antivirus, Super AntiSpyware and 
MalWareBytes. Whatever you do, don't use Norton, it's worse. Are you 
using a router? They offer a lot of protection against attacks from 
other computers.
