I suspect the computer is cluttered up with junk from the 'Net.
I use Windows 2000 + Firefox v.12 - your computer doesn't - so what follows may not apply exactly.
Check the Temporary Internet Files folder: make sure it is empty.
Use a software utility to find any tracking cookies on your computer - sometimes these are stored in the registry. That S/W should enable you to delete them.
If you're using Firefox, check Tools / Options and configure accordingly. Check for unwanted cookies in 'Show Cookies'; add persistent unwanted cookies to the 'Exceptions' list.
Then do a HDD defrag.
Then backup the HDD.
