Computer prob

IE is moving slower than ever...And if I have a window open for around 20 minutes, it will just close, and not even one of those "send error reports" things pop up. I while back, before I restarted, if I would just try to type something in the adress bar my comp would go into sleep mode.

Also, in my proccesses window, there's a file called msblast.exe. Is this blaster or another form of it? I got rid of it a long time ago.

Yes, msblast.exe is a worm.

Dont know about the other thing.

How should I go about getting rid of it?
