It is possible that anti-virus software could be slowing your system down, because it may be scanning your database files as they are accessed by your software, and that could be very slow.
Most anti-virus scanning programs let you exclude files from the scanning sequence. If you can exclude .DBF, .CDX and .DBT files from scanning, you may get your performance back. It sounds like your system is very slow opening files, although you haven't given us much information to go on as yet.
You should also run the Database Maintenance function found in Installation Workshop under Toolbox, if you have not done so recently.
