Try downloading ad-aware. Run it and see if that speeds it up. It is a spyware killer (pop-ups), also clean your hard drive up with a disk clean up option and a degragmentation. If it is still running slow, try a ram up grade.

Is you computer slow when using software offline? If so, it is either AOL or your internet. Don't judge the speed strictly by going to AOL. Go to Speakeasy Speed Test and test your internet speed. If that shows your internet is running at the speed you are paying for, it si AOL having trouble. You don't say which browser you are using, but most browsers have an option to block pop-ups. Make sure it is on.
Run a virus scan on your PC to see if it is infected. Also defrag your hard drive to speed it up some.

Those "pop ups" telling you your computer is about to crash is a form of virus. You need to do a scan on your system to locate and remove the problem. Once you do this it should stop the pop up ... Do not ever click on the pop up and let it scan for you ... that's part of the virus. Just close it out right away. Try one of the reputable free cleaners like CCleaner or the trial version of Malwarebytes. If you do not feel you have the capability to install and run these programs you may try someone like Geek Squad to come help you out. It will be a fee but I would think that is better that seizures! You may also get more responces if you post your question in the computer section rather than the watch section.

To start with you need to get Lavasoft Adaware installed on your computer. It is free to download and install.

When you have it installed, run it about 3 times rebooting your computer after each run. This should take care of most of your virus problems. After that I would suggest getting a free antivirus software. I use AVG anti-virus. Works very well.

my72corvette ..nice car btw..ive had two myself (70 & 74)

anyway, disregard any post from anyone that suggests you format your computer..that should only be done as a last resort...you could have viruses, you could have to much running in the tray..it could be overheating.

i agree with mike258, formating it is easy, its getting it running again thats the tricky part, especialy if you never did it before.

DO NOT FORMAT YOUR COMPUTER!

Slowness can be caused by viruses.

Run a virus scan and see what comes up.
If there are viruses on the computer, you may want to consider Restoring your computer to factory settings.

But before you do that
Run a virus scan; go to Symantec and run it or download AVG free.

If you decide to restore to factory settings, I will be glad to help you. Understand, you will loose everything on the computer, and you will have to run all your programs again, set up your network connection and email. Very time consuming.
