My computer is taking a rather long time to load. By this i mean the time it takes for windows to load all programs etc.
I have run all specified viral programs you suggest, these found a number of worms etc which have been cleaned/removed, however my computer is still running like a pig.
I run defrag and scan d***, however these stop and start and never finish..its very frustrating!
Once my computer has loaded and the noises all stop the system seems to work fine, although a little slow.
Occassionaly when im word processing and save work there appears what seems to be a double save, the other starting with a '$' symbol or similar. This then dissapears soon after.
My HJT log appears to be very small also...any ideas why?
Im confused and jusy want my old computer back.
Please help!
