Hi, not sure where to post this so I'll start here.
My computer has recently started slowing almost to a crawl for no understandable reason. For example just not all I had open were IE with about 5 tabs, MS Word and streaming internet radio through VLC (plus the usual MSN which I wasn't talking on, virus checker etc.)

While the computer won't let me do any work in Word or IE, the radio is still playing.

I have run spybot, adaware and AVG spyware as well as virus checker, and after a few initial tracking cookies, have found nothing to suggest malware.

My system: 3GHz x2 AMD Athlon, 2 GB RAM, 512 MB 8600 GT graphics card, Asus M2N-E SLI Mobo, vista business x64.

Are there any diags you could suggest to find a solution to this - very hard to work when the computer stops working!

Cheers,
CB

What did you install last ? If you havent done anything then I would post a message in the malware removal forum - cause a lot of malware causes inexplicable slowdowns.
