Why is my Gateway E2000 2.2Ghz slow?

I bought it used with Windows XP. Scanned clean with updated Spyware Doctor, Eusing Free Registry Cleaner and Norton 2003 Anti-Virus. 2.2 Ghz Celeron processor. 512 RAM. 40 Ghz harddrive with 89% free space. Only other programs on hard-drive are Open Office and Intel Extreme Graphics. Comcast Cable Internet connection. Surfs slow. Downloads of updates are reasonably fast, though. Right now, my old computer, a Dell GX1 with 600 Mhz c.p.u. beats it for surfing speed.

I would suggest trying other programs for spyware and viruses. Good ones are Lavasoft's free antispyware program and AVG's virus scanner. Also for added protection consider a firewall, like Zonealarm, it's free as well. For the internet try using Firefox if you are not using it. It makes your surfing experience faster and more secure. Also do disk defragmentation and disk cleanup and remove that Norton Anti-Virus, that's a huge memory hog and see if that helps.
