About 3 weeks ago, LOTS of slowness, freezing all the time. Boots easily and somewhat quickly. Desktop loads, but hourglass icon forever and nothing-- can only shut down via powering off. Like a dummy, I thought I was going through a system restore, but actually went through a system recovery instead. Not too much of a big deal b/c most of my files were on external hard drive. But had to reload programs. Now, I can work for about 5 mins. after booting up, and then gets stuck again. I can pretty much do anything in safe mode, though. I'm worried I'm infected again, so thought maybe someone could give some helpful advice to see.
