SP2 did not slow down my machine... in fact operates best ever. Viruses represent only one portion of malware that affects today's machine. Look around or post in the "Virus & Security Alerts" forum for solutions and free programs to help. BHODemon is a good small free program to check for Browser Help Objects (BHO's) that may be running in the background and reporting home. Not all BHO's are bad so review them to understand any you wish to keep.
My first suggestion would be to cleanup using the cleanup utility under Tools... then defragment the hard drive. Do a free online scan using Housecall and Panda ActiveScan. Use Google Search to find these.

I dont know what the problem is, but I'm thinking about going back to SP1, how do i do that?
