** computer problems - hardware keeps stalling & lagging

Dear friends,

It started some weeks ago when my computer would shut down all of a sudden.

It still happens once in awhile. We cleaned the computer of much dust. Now a new problem started. Every few seconds the MOUSE lags which is very annoying. It also sometimes goes offline. The keyboard too at times goes offline or repeats the same letterrrr.

A Superspyantispyware check keeps finding malware but no special virus or trojan. Some of the things found are : outbrain.com & doubleclick.

I changed USB places, yet the problem remains.

What do you think is the problem ? Power supply - CPU - MB - possible virus ?

Any way to fix it ?

I use
WIN XP
Core 2 Duo CPU
E7300 @ 2.66 GHz

Thanks
@mnon
