    Not sure that this issue is spyware, but anyway...

    My computer works fine for most of the morning every day. By lunchtime I'm getting some hangtime with sending IMs or emails, or opening websites. By about 3 p.m., I literally wait several minutes, hearing the processor churning, before I can open or close things on my desktop.

    Could there be some sort of spyware running that's more active in the afternoon? I can't seem to track anything down that would cause this, and I've never heard of this problem before!

    Ideas?
