Please don't use services like that off the television. I think i know the one your talking about with the exotic sounding chick talking about "make it quick" and all that junk. They are a total rip off. If your are convinced that it is a virus or spyware try downloading adaware or spybot and running a scan. If you are running vista ultimate 2 gigs might not provide the performance you are looking for. I would suggest bumping it up to 4.

Maybe Defragmenting would help. Mine is set to do this once a week.

If you have roadrunner you should call tech support and they will handle for free as it might be the connection. This is a new computer so shouldnt be running slow at all . The processor is what you need to see it will say somthing like 1.7 anything lower than that is just a slow computer . Your operation system should be vista or a kind of vista (premium,basic) . Best you call tech support that why you pay so use em ..

If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don't always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task.
First, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.

2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how:
1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser
2. Click Start, click "Control Panel", and then double-click "Internet Options".
3. On the General tab, click "Delete Files" under Temporary Internet Files.
4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the "Delete all offline content" check box , and then click OK.
5. Click OK.
3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by alter your msconfig. Here is how:
1. Open your Start menu.
2. Click Run
3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe"
4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab
5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using.
6. Click "OK"
Other great tip is increasing your virtual memory to simulate more RAM. This will give you a bit more resources for multiple program use or CPU heavy programs.
Hope this link helps. Shows you how to do everything step by step. You should get a least 60-120% more resources and speed
if you follow the tips.
