If you do not have the following download install and scan with Ad-Aware SE , If you do not have anti virus installed Go to Panda Active Scan and do an online scan . After that download AVG from Grisoft. It is free and you should use it daily .

Sorry, I have windows xp pro, 2.0 pentium, 80 gb hard drive, 224 mb. I have norton antivirus and Ad-aware 6.0 and I scan with both regularly. When I open task manager and go to performance it shows that the pf usage is at 733 mb and the bar is almost full. After I re-boot it goes down to about 200 mb. I'm not exactly sure what that is a indication of but I think it might be related. Thanks again in advance.

pentium 2 and xp pro.... that's straining the system.... even pentium 3 is border line---what mghz/Ghz are you running[ie, 233mhz?]?
Also get the free tool spybot below, and run it if you don't have it ....
Nortons using alot of system juice too.
Are you cleaning out internet temp files too? running diskcleanup and defrag?

Sorry I meant its a pentium 4 2.0 and I already run spybot and spyware blaster. I clean out temp files regularly and also run defrag too. Thanks for your help tho.
