Have you performed any free, online malware scans? Here's a couple to start with:
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/sandbox...s%2Fdefault.htm (Requires IE)
http://housecall.trendmicro.com

If you find that you're infected, I'd suggest posting in the "Am I Infected?" forums located here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum103.html

Which malware did it find? Have you rescanned to make sure it hasn't reinfected you (malware does that)?
Try this thread for some help with slowness (although it's an XP thread, much of it pertains to Vista): http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic44690.html
