My Windows (XP SP2) laptop which used to work well suddenly keeps acting strange. I do have reasonable security like a couple of anti virus, firewalls, etc.
Processes suddenly hang and more importantly, when I try to kill them using the task manager, the task manager hangs as well! Any pointers on what could be the problem and how to rectify?

If it is any consolation, I am not attached enough to windows (or any other technology) to sacrifice my life or happiness for its sake.
