did you get any problems with your scan? If so, have you fixed them?
A little more info would be helpful.

Obviously that's just basic stuff but sometimes people forget.

yes I got quite a few viruses and spyware but I fixed them and its still slow.

what scan was it? I had a scan on my computer for a while but there were problems it couldn't see. Running in the background. Do you have spywareblaster , it sped up firefox for me.

you need to do this forums five step program to make sure you gotten rid of all of your nasties. Nasties can be tricky and hide in places where your scans cannot find them. The five steps will make sure there is nothing hidden.
