Ctrl + Alt + Dlt

see how many programs are running in the background. If you have a lot this could be why its slow.

take off the ones that are not sys files

start > run > msconfig
startup tab

You might want to upgrade to a faster processor maybe even a faster system, if you can afford it!

It almost sounds like some form of keystroke logger. Perhaps it is a virus. I'd run Norton Antivirus if you have it. The trojan scanner was a good idea too. Also, download Spybot Search and Destroy and run that to see if it could be some form of spyware.
