512MB is a very respectable amount of RAM and increasing it won't really give
you a speed increase. It will allow opening MORE Windows and many
applications at the same time. You may have parasitical software eating up
resources...
1) Download the following three items...
Trend Sysclean Package
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp
Latest Trend signature files.
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp
Adaware SE (personal free version)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Create a directory.
On drive "C:\"
(e.g., "c:\New Folder")
or the desktop
(e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\lipman\Desktop\New Folder")
Download sysclean.com and place it in that directory.
Dowload the signature files (pattern files) by obtaining the ZIP file.
For example; lpt218.zip
Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same
directory as
sysclean.com.
2) Update Adware with the latest definitions.
3) Disable System Restore

4) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode
5) Using both the Trend Sysclean utility and Adaware, perform a Full
Scan of your platform and clean/delete any infectors/parasites found.
(a few cycles may be needed)
6) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform
using both the
Trend Sysclean utility and Adaware
7) Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any
System Restore preferences, (e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~
600MB),
8) Reboot your PC.
9) Create a new Restore point
