Hi Sherry,
Welcome to TechSpot
What you maybe SHOULD delete, is AOL. That slows down any PC. (There is version 9 out, in case you have to keep AOL, it includes McAfee security stuff, slightly better than Norton).
Having any Norton/Symantec stuff slows you down even more!
Next, you should not use Internet Explorer at all, EXCEPT for Windows Update.
Get Firefox from
www.getfirefox.com and use that from now on, no problems with ActiveX.
Switch off System Restore.
Boot in safe mode.
Press Ctrl/Alt/Del, go into Taskmanager, see if you can STOP farmmext.exe
Run Hijackthis and let it "fix" the following:

When done, delete C:\WINDOWS\farmmext.exe
Empty your \documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Temp directory.
Delete your Internet caches and cookies from ALL browsers you have.
Boot in normal mode. If all is OK, turn System Restore back on.
Good luck.
