My imac is running painfully slow! Time capsule will not back up and hasn't since yesterday and just keep seeing the spinning wheel? Any help what to do?

Take a look at Activity Monitor. Are there any processes hung or using a large amount of CPU?

You don't have a virus.

activity monitor shows very little cpu usage on everything running

Give the old "reboot all" a try. Power cycle the computer and time capsule. 99 out of 100 issues I would experience with my TC was fixed by a powercycle.

Try resetting the PRAM, resetting the SMC and repairing disk permissions in Apple's Disk Utility in the utilities folder. This work for me with my iMac.
