you might try to boot into
safe mode and see if
performance is better
there.

if so, then you might begin
normal mode with a
clean boot.

Roxio, much as I like it, is often the culprit for things like that.
Did you make sure to install any updates that were available?
If I were you I think I'd next try an uninstall/reinstall of Roxio before
going too much further.

Repost: Has another McAfee application or a Norton application ever been
installed on the computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled
when you bought it)?

Is McAfee Security Suite a freebie from your ISP?

No additional McAfee or Norton installed.

Yes, it's the McAffe Suite from Cox.

See if doing this McAfee three-step fix (followed by a reboot) resolves the
