my computer seems to slow down for a few minutes and then returns back to normal and then slows down again? It repeats this cycle over and over again? What is the problem? :confused:
 
Need more info like computer type, chipset, OS-you know and what were you running during this problem, what programs
 
it seem to get worse when i'm on the internet?

computer is pentium 4 2.5 gHz, 756 mb,40 giga bite hard drive, running windows Xp!

Does that help?

Virus? Spyware?

Those are my bets.

Yeah those are my bets too. Check for those. I have no idea where but you probably can find some by googling. If not that check your RAM. I had a problem where I had a bad chip so it was bogging down my comp. You could try to see if its that by opening up your computer and taking out your ram chips and then putting them back one at a time. But my best bet is that you have some spy-ware or virus or like on my old win 98 pc Rundll32.exe has gone crazy and become corrupt. If its the latter you need to be really careful or you might end up re-installing windows.
