If your computer has suddenly started running slowly while performing task that it usually does much quicker then you may have picked up a virus or spyware somewhere and should scan your computer. If you do not have anti-spyware/malware/virus protection you can download free software such as Avast(basic/free edition), Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, and Spybot Search & Destroy.
If it is not slow because of viruses/malware/spyware, then it may be because the program/s you are running are very memory intensive or you are running a lot of programs at the same time. Make sure that your software meets the minimum system requirements for the program/s you are running, ie. processor speed, RAM amount, video card, etc. Buying more RAM memory may help, or if you are not willing to or able to install more, you can try closing down any open applications that you don't need at that time (if there are any) to free up memory.

Will 'Google Earth 6' Harm your Computer?
Google Earth is a graphics intensive application. If you run Google Earth concurrently with a number of other applications that consume large amounts of memory and/or video driver resources then your computer will run slowly. In some situations running Google Earth in that scenario could lockup/freeze your computer (e.g. Blue-Screen-of-Death) but concurrently running any combination of graphics intensive applications or computer games could in fact crash a computer. Similarly, if you plugin in an air conditioner, power-saw, and HD TV all running on the same outlet in your home then likely you're going to blow a circuit. Same as running applications like Google Earth with other like applications at the same time. If running Google Earth makes things run slowly then you have the option to exit the other applications and run Google Earth alone or install more memory on the computer.
