What is up? Computer has slowed down considerably, everytime an exe file opens i get a popup that says "bad image'. think it's time to move my files to an external HD and reboot XP? Is that such a big deal?

Hello and Welcome to PCHF

IMO, I would first give it a good cleaning. In this I mean run some scans to detect and remove any malware. Spyware can slow a system down 500%.....
Have one of our security analyst take a look at some logs for you.

Please Follow These Instructions in the following link
Prework


If you dont want to waste the time then wipe it, its your call. And its no big deal, at least for me its not
