I have a problem with the system on my macbook pro. Lately the system responds very slowly and I need to force quit most of my apps, especially any browser I use. I had this problem before, and I solved it with a clean install of OSX, but now it's back and I don't want a clean install every time this happens. Can I suspect a virus?

Repair permissons always get's this (every time):

Mac osx 10.6.6
Macbook Pro 4.1 santa rosa, 2007-2008?
4 GB ram (non apple)
500 GB HD 23 GB free (non apple)

To add to the problem: I need to force the machine to turn off most of the time, and sometimes when I start it again it dosen't respond at all...
Might it be connected to a hardware or software problem?

The culprit is most likely you having less than 5% free HDD space, and it is recommended to have at least 10% to 20% free HDD capacity.

Have you tried repairing permissions or the disk via Disk Utility started from the Restore DVD?
Guide on how to use Disk Utility from the restore / installation DVD.
 

It is called "bump", unless you wanted to dump something though.
Anyway, have you freed up some HDD capacity, to at least 10%, or repaired permissions via Disk Utility started from the Restore or Retail DVD?

Also my sound card have gone bad, it directs sound through my speakers when a headphone is connected and vise versa.

Do you still have Apple Care?
Have you taken a look at System Preferences > Sound >> Output in both instances?
