Download and run Microsofts malicious software removal tool. It will clean out the major virus's and spyware.
Malicious Software Removal Tool
After you run it update your antiirus definitions. If its a payed service that has expired switch to a free antivirus. Theres no reason to pay for antivirus support anymore. The free ones now perform as well as and in most cases better than Norton or Mcafee.
Avast Free is great
Download FREE antivirus software - avast! Home Edition
AVG Free is good too
AVG Free - Download AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition for Windows XP and Vista
Comodo offers a full internet security sweet similar to Norton and Mcafee for free.
SSL Free Firewall Two Factor Authentication Products from Comodo
Any one of those should kill the virus you have. I recommend getting Avast because after you install it it performs a boot up scan of the hardrive which can remove the viruses that protect themselves when windows starts up.
Finally run a spyware remover.
Spybot S&D is the best.

If that doesn't fix your problem its not a virus. Defrag your hardrive. Also go to Start/ Run and type MSCONFIG. Go to the Startup tab and remove Dr Watson, Quicktime, Realplayer, Office, Adobe, Yahoo Messenger or any other Non Microsoft program tool that loads itself into memory on startup (not your antivirus though). These programs load themselves into memory so when you double click their icon to open them they load faster. Its unnecessary and robs your computer of about 20mbs of RAM. The programs will still open when you doublecick their icon. Instead of a 10 second startup of the program you might get a 15 second startup. But windows will run blazingly faster with the extra RAM you freed up.
