funny behavior

[spizotfl]

hi, i have a box at work that is acting a little odd. it slows down and runs bad. we clean out temp files, run spybot and it seems to be better, then a couple of days later, it is slow again. just ran spybot and ad-aware and nothing unusual is showing up.
i didn't notice anything in the hijackthis log, but it is here just in case:

I vote hardware. CPU fan dying and CPU is throttling down as it heats up.

(just to be different)

Maybe open up the pc and give it a clean, check those fans for dust and give it a good clean out!
