    I reckon you need a good old spring clean. Get CCleaner and run the "cleaner". After that you may want to run the "issues" option to clear your registry. The odds are that there is a great deal of crap still on your computer, e.g. old programme installers, file duplicates or files that remain after deletion of another programme etc.

    I'd bet that there is something malicious on you computer.

    Personally I don't think having to go into college to download the latest virus database is the most practical solution. AV programmes like Avast, AVG 7.5 or http://www.free-av.com/ are fantastic and free. Added to this you will need to run Spyware programmes like Defender (someone provided a link), Spybot AVG Anti-Spyware (see the AVG 7.5 link) and Adaware.

    Right click My Computer

    Click properties

    Advanced tab

    Under Performance, click settings

    Advanced tab

    Under Virutal memory, click change

    Click C: in the list

    Check Custom size, and set both initial and maximum to 1024

    You should notice a slight performance inprovement as well as never having a "low virtual memory" warning ever again

    To see what processes are using Virtual Memory, open Task Manager, choose Processes tab. The go to the View menu and choose Select Columns. In the list choose Virtual Memory, then Ok.

    This will list the amount of VM used by each process which will help you figure out what program/service is chewing up your VM.
