Help!!

I am not very computer savy.  My computer is approximately a year old.  I do not have too many programs on it.  I do medical transcription. 
 
When I turn my computer on it takes at least 10 minutes for the hour glass to disappear.  When I double click on Word, it takes approximately 5 minutes to open.  I have done the disk cleanup and the disk defragmenter and from what I can tell, there is plenty of space available. 
 
Any suggestions?  Thank you in advance.

    laurenatc,

    Have you also done a full system antivirus scan with updated signatures? Do you routinely check for and remove spyware? If the answer to the second question is no, download Ad-aware from here and Spybot from here. Check online for updates to their databases then run them and delete all the spyware they identify.
