extreme pc lag every 40 mins

hi. my pc lags every 40 mins or so, and not just any lag; seems like everything must stop for a while to proceed. i can't even shut down properly...it hangs every time i do that.

so far i've done the following:
1. scan with Norton AntiVirus/Spybot S&D/AdAware/Registry Mechanic/Norton utilities(windoctor,diskdoctor)/Trojan Remover/Trojan Hunter === still lags
2. check disk drives for errors, none detected
3. defragment
4. optimize with bootvis
5. startup list:
ctfmon.exe
sunjavaupdater
trojan hunter guard
zone alarm pro

i use IE v6...my guess is this is some trojan. when i scanned with trojan hunter it detected one trojan illusion something and the lag was gone. but it went back after startup and when i scanned it again nothing was detected. im still frustrated here. can u help me out?
