My computer has been fine all of this time, then all of a sudden, when I was burning a dvd iso. My computer slowed right down. The program froze up and didnt finish and I could not open the DVD drive door. So I restarted hoping to fix it, and for the last week its been really really slow. To get onto the internet, it takes forever to load a page, and when on msn, when typing a message it lags. I heard it might just be dust, but do you have any other ideas?

Also do a virus scan and see if your computer is infected! A virus can slow down your computer, too! First clean your computer up..... then see if there is a difference. go to your browser and delete cookies, history file, clear your cache and temporary Internet files, etc.... found in TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS.
