Having done that you should see some improvement but go to pandahttp://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
and run it to see what if anything it finds
good luck
Have you tried deleteing your temp internet files?
To do this go Internet explorer >>Tools>>Internet options>>Delete files >>Click delete all offline content (just to be sure) >> click ok. It might take some time to delete them.
I hope this helps
