More info?)
I think Terhune's diatribe is worth a serious look, & I've just updated
my HOSTS from there. Also...
(1) The mouse & keyboard are the ones with moving parts, & they are
"hooked", meaning tasks will run each time you touch one. Therefore,
with the computer off, unplug the mouse & hold by it's tail until it may
stop spinning & squawking. Also, open & clean the ball & rollers. That
is not a design you may see on the rollers-- it is a band of dirt
running round the center! Also, unplug the keyboard, turn it round &
spank it.
I did plenty of THAT, when I suffered erratic mouse movements & ultimate
mouse freeze. Unfortunately, I more/more dimly recall, there were still
one/two freezes AFTER the last cleaning. STILL, it is good to get the
beloved patriot out of there, I think.
(2) If disabling your virus checker's auto-"System" scan, using it's
Tray button, leaving the other types on, gives immediate & dramatic
relief, I have further info. This supposedly applies to Scan Engine
4.1.60.

USB Mouse May Hang When the Computer Is Idle for a Long Time
So, if you have "Find Fast", try disabling that.

(4) For sluggishness in navigating folders: Open Explorer, R-Clk My
Documents in the left pane, & select Properties. How many folders
does it contain? If it is around 100, try moving them out. Reboot. Is
your sluggishness gone?
(5) Update definitions & check for viruses, and try some of the other
measures at Terhune's.
