My computer begins to run slower and slower, yet I didn't save many files 
inside it. So, what kind of problems may makes this result? Is it bugs? But 
I can't find them through Norton!

Indeed, this is NOT the right place to ask that question :) but I might 
as well answer.

Assuming your running Windows (slow, you say?) I'd suggest you install 
the BETA of Windows OneCare. It's for US only, but if you put your 
regional settings to "English (US)" (control panel) you can install it.

It should fix many problems. Worked for me anyway.

Open the task manager and sort the processes on CPU-usage, see if any use
close to 100%.

For what it's worth, I've found some websites can put Firefox at near 
100% CPU and leave it there until I kill the app.  I suspect it's flash 
related but haven't taken the time to pin it down.

I notice spyware/adware does this alot, most gnutella / peer-to-peer 
clients come with some sort of spyware/adware.

spy-bot from http://www.safer-networking.org is a good free anti-spyware 
tool.
