It's almost certainly the anti-virus software which is causing the problem--it sits at a very low level in the system, intercepting disk read and write requests, and if it contains a memory leak your entire system will gradually grind to a halt. Either you should get a different virus checker or get used to restarting your machine every day.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
