Why is my computer doing things more slowly?
Over the past several weeks, my Win 7 Pro computer seems to be doing things much more slowly than previously. For example, in the past, when I'd drag an item from an Outlook email onto the desktop, the item's icon would appear on the desktop almost immediately. Now, I have to wait 5-10 seconds to see the icon. I have checked my computer for viruses and have not found any. What else could the problem be? I am somewhat suspicious of Avast AntiVirus, since it seems to do a lot of disk thrashing, but nothing else comes to mind.
