input appreciated-

doubtful you will have to defrag, or if defrag would do much good (assuming you run xp). to me, it either sounds like spyware, malware or a virus. to me, there is something that is definately hogging system resources... just use ctrl+alt+del and check the running processes that looks like something (besides explorer.exe) that is hogging up oogles of memory and resources

goodluck!
