Sticking PC problem?

Hi all. Bit tricky this one to describe. Whenever I start my pc up, the thing is ok for usualy a couple of mins. What happens next is the mouse sort of 'freezes' for a few seconds at a time. This length of time increases the longer I have the pc on. For example, right now, after about ten mins, its a delay/freeze of about 3 seconds. In about one hour, it will be around ten+ seconds. Its a real pain in the bottom as you could imagine. Trying to acurately click on a link is quite difficult.
Recently, I discovered my Norton AV was not running. When i scanned my pc, it came back with 20 files infected and it put the viruses into quarentine. Could it be the viruses still there? My drives are de-fragged to 95% and 96% as of this morning. Any clues before i just nuke the hard drives clean?
