SP3 never took a speed hit but I've lost count of speed loss due to many of those antivirus suites.

I had win XP service pack 2 till few hours ago.
It worked fine (awesome), no problems at all.
But when my friend tried to install avira antivirus it required service pack 3. So he installed it.
Now when I turn my computer on, it is much slower than before. When I launch any program it is slow as a snail. Also when I play any video (for example in youtube)
I can't watch it, sound goes fine, but image is frozen or vey slow moving...
Is there any way to speed it up?
or
If I uninstall service pack 3 from:
control panel/add or remove programs
will my system automaticaly go back to service pack 2 or it will couse a problem and I will have to reinstall my system completely???
Thanks in advance.
