When was the last time you did a full virus scan, have you cleared the cookies / internet history.

What spec is your PC? Processor and speed, amount of RAM etc. Decent setup is a relative term, what I consider **** you could consider the best thing since sliced bread ;)

My mate had this similar problem and he sorted it by re-setting his modem.
