inconsistent windows xp pro operation

I have a amd anthlon, it has 512mb of ram, windows XP pro, and Norton using about 280mb of my ram. I have recently been having trouble with the computer, it has had trouble running in windows and in yahoo mail. Once I get on the internet it works slow but downloads pages and pics pretty well but still not as slow as when moving around desktop etc. I have run malwarebytes anti malware thinking I caught something.
I have observed that I am getting dameon mail undeliverable in my email box for mail that I deleted and never sent so I wonder if I am being used as some sort of hub to send mail through?
now what I found interesting is that when I had the task manager up with nothing really moving around, under cpu usage it was at 100%! Now I confess to not know sh&t about computers, but that isn't right, like now as I move around the internet, the usage varies greatly and rapidly, like you would expect.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening intermitently to my computer. Right now it is running well.
I have tried very hard to download and use memtest86+ and finally made a copy on cd,(still zipped) hope that is right, but have not been able to use it to boot, i really don't know how.
Any advice about the 100% thing would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance Doug
 
You need more memory, 512mb when using Nortons will really slow you down. I don't recommend anything less than 1gb for running XP. Your hijack log doesn't show anything majorly wrong. Also, if you haven't done it recently, it may be time for a fresh install of windows. Windows does slow down over time if you don't keep it clean. Some do fresh installs about once or twice a year.

You need to unzip memtest before burning it to cd or it won't boot to the cd. Download the bootable ISO version and then use burning software to burn the image to a cd.
 
unfortunately I do not have the windows original disc to reinstall with, nor do I have the tag on the case that you would normally have, although it is registered with Microsoft. Is there a way to get a version from someone to use for a reinstall. i had read somewhere that I could get someone to burn me a copy to use at a local computer repair shop if I could prove that what I have is legitimate,. Any suggestions?
Also what about those undelivered emails that I never sent to people I do not know?
Thank you John for your input.
Doug
 
It's basically spam email. You were probably once infected or still are and random emails were sent out to bogus addresses and are being bounced back.
