There have been many posts on this forum lately, regarding resource problems. 

It would be good to elimimate spyware as the culprit. Let's do this. Excuse the length, 
and you may have done some of this already. Download the CWShredder: Merjin.org Direct download: CWShredder.exe

Close all browser windows and run it offline. Keep it on hand, as there are many

newer version often.

Next, run Spybot to clean out most of the spyware:

Start it and go online and press 'search for updates' tab. (NOTE: select the US or 
Australian mirror site to download updates from, if you have problems). Download 
all updates that aren't optional. Close all browser windows and run the scan. Then 
click 'Check All', and fix everything Spybot labels in red. Reboot. 

Then download: 'HijackThis' 
Unzip 'HT' into a new folder. Close all browser windows and run it offline. Double 
click the .Exe file to run it. Choose Scan. It will display a list. Most of the things 
you see listed are necessary or required entries, so don't fix anything YET, until 
you know which items to fix. For a description on the entries in the log, check here:

The Scan button will turn into Save Log. Choose Save log, then click Edit - Select 
all and copy/paste the contents of the log file in a post.
