IE slows down for many reasons. legitimate add-ons with bugs are the most common reason after you have eliminated spyware and viruses. uninstalled programs that don't remove everything from their IE "integration" support are the usual reason. IE spends time looking for something that isn't there because the registry entry is still there. some of these can be cleaned up by registry cleaners. after that, it's installed programs that are just stupid. IE has thousands of way to "integrate" and anything that does it wrong could cause the system to crash, slow down, or just not work right. all thanks to MS's we'll-do-everything-in-the-browser-and-make-it-part-of-the-OS-to-kill-Netscape idea.
Thankfully IE is going down: http://htmlfixit.com/article_index.php?p=649 and this thread is part of it.
