No deleteing history doesn't do that.

Shouldn't be any spyware on here, I have Norton Antivirus running and let it update automatically & scan frequently. Not to say that something couldn't have slipped past it that it doesn't detect.

Porbally not an issue. But never assume ONE anti-spyware program is enough. Nothing ctaches everything. Download the free version of Ad-Aware. And run that about once a week.

I do have a copy of disckeeper I could install for defrag, which I haven't been using either.
Thanks for the tips.

You could defrag right from windows.
Control Pannel-Performance & Maintenence-Rearrange items on your hard disk
Seems like you haven't defragged yet and I bet this is the main problem.
Also how much shit do you have in your start-up? Everything you start-up has to be shut down. Also instead of shutting down completely try using "stand by". Sometimes you have to shut down completely in certain circumstances, but if your just getting off the computer for awhile just use the "stand by" mode.
