I worked on a computer savvy user's computer once, he couldn't figure out why the 2 GHz machine was running slow. I ran a virus scan on it and found 300 viruses, worms and trojan horses running in the background. Got rid of them all and the computer was running like it had the very first day.

What program did you use?

I ended up having to just stop and go nuts not too long ago running multiple online virus scans (since I think they are less likely to be tricked by viruses like they like to do to regular scanners), my Norton, Adaware, and Swat-it. It is running like new. I found several pretty harmless worms that only try to change your home page. I will have to run spybot again to search for spy programs. I don't really have a firewall though, only the XP firewall. I think the college probably has its own firewall anyway.
