    i dont know if you found a solution yet but i was having the same problem and i tried cleaning up everything (spyware, virus, registry, defragment) and i was still lagging.

    then i got rid of mcafee virus scan and got AVG. found two trojan viruses on my comp that mcafee missed. cleared those out and i am running fine now.

    also take a look at the processes running on your comp with the task manager and see what is hogging up all the resources.
