Computer slowing down, maybe activeX problem?

[Daven81]

hi guys,
it's normal routine work for my computer until suddenly it's operations slowed down, not minor problem due to heat or overwork, but is really slowing down. i have to wait, say more than 5 seconds everytime i browse a folder. Then i notice this message:

Load: com.ms.activeX.ActiveXComponent can’t be instantiated

I wish to know what does this means and did it caused my computer to slow down? Also i change my dvdrom to a cdrom the night before my computer changed.
Please help..

Hello Daven01,

Do an on/off-line virus scan rightaway. It is virus/worm related operating through java applet. A variation of mIRC/...
