Do a check @ housecall.trendmicro.com and see what it reports.

Also check your start up files by running msconfig at the run command - delete all uneccessary programs - a freeware program Startup available from www.mlin.net is very handy for this.

Follow usual maint. routine - download windows updates, and install, do a disk cleapup, update AV and run a full scan in safe mode.

Defrag HD if you havent done this recently.

Check free space in HD, if low, delete unnecessary files.
