I imagine they will just have to update to a newer system as they have in the past ! An Operating System that is no longer supported by Microsoft cannot be patched to secure against any new vulnerabilities, and is therefore wide open to contracting an infection. So this will produce the question if it's worth "Malware Removal Specialist" to clean a non-supported system ! Be like chasing your tail around & around !!

Kim have you cleaned it out with a can of air ? It's amazing how much dust it can collect inside !! Pretty sure it's the hard drive, not much a person can do with that. It could last months or years just can't put a time limit on it ! You could go here & check it, i have never used this site but other Malware specialist recommend it >> Please download HD Tune (the free version not the trial), run an error scan on your primary harddrive (full not quick) and report back if any blocks aren't green. It tests your hard drive for bad sectors. I can read that report if you want !! Chuck
