One of the common reasons that people overlook, that causes slowness is drive fragmentation. If the drive is going 'sick' with junk and is also badly fragmented ( which happens over time in the background as and when things get added, deleted or edited) or for example when you browse and temporary files get stored, it is bound to slowdown your activities. We face this problem very often on our workstations.

You can download a free antivirus if you don't have one... AVG can do the job of most commercial antivirus out there
