Same thing used to happen to my mothers PC.
She got so guilty about calling me she started going to the geek squad.
She spent 10x's what that POS was worth getting it fixed numerous times.
Was visiting her one time and she was complaining that it would just hang.
Went upstairs, booted it, came back 15 minutes later and there was so much spyware crap loaded that it was crippled to a crawl.
She asked me "why does this keep happening over and over again", said, "tell your husband to lay off the porn sites".
Left the house, went to the local big box, picked her up a Mac Mini, brought it home, hooked it up and never heard another complaint from her ever again.
