ad ware, using Microsoft programs, theres all kinds of reasons. I uploaded 2000 pictures on adobe and my computer wouldn't even turn off. Stay away from microsoft, use Mozilla Firefox for your internet searcher. Never use Office XP. If the computer has XP pre installed it might be causing it to run slow.
Maybe you've got lots of junk stored onto it. A virus might even be the cause. Also, it might be because you have so many windows open that it just slows it down.
You can get a virus the moment your computer is connected to the internet if you're not fully protected.
Make sure you have up to date anti-virus and Windows Defender anti spyware
Also you may want to defragment your drive (start->programs-> accesories-> System tools-> defragment

Method 1 Clean up your temporary files.The system records your activity in the background and becomes temporary files hided in disk space, when you open the programs or visit the website. The cumulative temporary files will occupy a lot of space, and lead to no room to operate the system. They not only affect your computer speed, but also as habitats for a virus, Trojan horses. This is one of the main reasons to slow down your computer.You need to select "show all files and folders option", find temporary folder and delete the contents.
Method 2 Clean Your Windows registry.there are some great disadvantages in the registry. Security of WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI that are the configuration procedures of the registry is not high and restricted by the size. That is, once your computer installed a lot of software, the registry was full, causing the speed of the system to slow. If you are a fan of net work, when you browse the network, hackers will change your registry and ultimately can control your computer or steal your important documents by making use of the character that the registry has low security. So you need frequently check the registry and delete the data that should be deleted.
