Your computer is pretty strong, spec wise.

For what it is worth, I run an i5 with 4GB of RAM which I thought was very powerful but still would freeze often. I then realize that it was because I kept running out of RAM. You may be in the same situation -- are you running 32-bit or 64-bit?

for the Mailware I'd use Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org/), use the free version

and even though it is in beta, Malwarbytes' have a free anti-rootkit scanner http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/mbar/

and for anti-virus, as well as doing a scan with the AV installed, maybe do a scan with an online AV scanner? Something like the ESET Online Scanner. http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

You need to

a) Look for installed programs that are "always on" that may be causing the slowdown

b) Check your power settings (if you are on a laptop) to ensure you are not on Power Saver

c) Defragment your hard drive

What are the specs of you computer?
