Program slowdown

[Guest]

Once again, I am posting this since I never got a fix from my old post which is on a faraway page.

I've been getting sudden program slowdowns. They happen on more memory-heavy programs (Like, full games, not something like notepad). At first, the program is fine. But, gradually, the program seems to start skipping/slow down. After a few minutes of using a program, the computer's usuage goes up tp 99% and I can hardly move the mouse. Then a minute later, the program is back to normal and the process repeats.

Could this be some new spyware or virus that my scanner's didn't find? Could this be a memory leak?
Anyone know some kind of solution to this?

*Note: I'm am sure that it isn't spyware, unless it's something that's not discovered yet. FixYourWindows didn't help.

Are you sure that you have adequate memory ? Look in Task Manager /
Performance / available physical memory . Run disk cleanup and Defrag.

I have enough memory. Besides, it just happened one day. I've been playing the same games and such, and it never happened quite the time ago.
