WinXP stops to raise the taskbar

[Levlg]

From time to time, the WinXP stops to raise the taskbar and severely slows
down its reactions to the clicks. (The cursor on the screen is moving
normally.) Ctrl + Alt + Del runs Task Manager, but (contrary to
expectations) does not show 100% of the CPU load (usually 5 - 10%). Only
restarting can change the situation.
What could be this behavior causing? How can I be saved from this
deficiency?
Thank you
Lev

I would start with a full scan for malware with this program:

Anti-Malware 1.33, which can be downloaded from here:
