Sudden slow running system

Can anyone tell me why my system all of a sudden started to run extremely slow? I have a delay like something is sucking up memory big time. Example: I type an email in yahoo and the words show up a two seconds after I type it. I ran the virus program and everything is clean. I have cleaned out everything I possibly could and shut down everything that is running in the background that I can. I have run scan-disc/defrag/reg-clean etc/temp files/history etc... Is there anything that I'm missing??? Thanks for the help.

Download to and run from your desktop > CW-SHREDDER. See if it finds anything. It looks fo CoolWebSearch or one of its variants (a browser hijacker). If you get an error about a missing file MSVBVM60.DLL, install this first: MS-Patch . All downloads are virus free and safe. MrC
