Trying running it to see if there is any spyware that might be causing the lag. If not, try running a disk cleanup and defrag. If that's not the case, you might need more RAM. If you don't know how, I have a tutorial here.

I personally use Spybot Search and Destroy, but don't add the Teatimer extentsion when installing, because you'll be getting ten thousand messages every 20 seconds and it lags up the computer. I use Firefox for my web browser with the add on "Ad Block +" which keeps most malicious content like advertisements and pop ups.
