Taskbar always freezes on me.

[jman9322]

I am posting this cus im not sure what to do next. after about 10 minutes of runing the computer that stat menu loacks up solid. I could use other windows commands to move from program to program still. I have download spybot, adware and my virus scanner is killing more than any of them. and I am still having this problem. also after I press ok to login as admin it takes about 3 minutes to finally boot into windows. Im not sure what to do now.
