Default How can I speed up my computer

many web pages are taking 5 to 10 seconds, some even longer, to load.
Programs don't open quickly, either. I have a DSL connection. The OS is
Windows Vista, 6.0.6002 SP 2. per the System info available under
Accessories - System Tools - System Information

The only program open when I wrote this was Notepad. I opened Firefox,
version 7.0.1,, copied and pasted this in here. ESET NOD 32 is in the
background but is not "open" per se, i.e., no scan is running. I don't have
Word, Mail, and other programs open at the same time. 2 or 3 Firefox tabs
at a max.

Opera & IE are slow, too.

I believe this is called a "memory leak", but I have no idea how to fix it.

Thanks
