Alrighty, well this just started happening last night, but it seemed that as I was browsing www.funnyexam.com to get some laughs my computer just froze, as in nothing was responding, everything was running extremely slowly, I couldn't even get taskmanager to show up even though I executed it. So I restarted my computer, and what happened next was after I logged on, my computer would start up a few start up applications, my desktop would show up, but then my computer would just flat out freeze. My cursor wouldn't move, nothing would be running, the spinning "A" avast! logo would stop mid-spin, and I couldn't ctrl+alt+delete.

So I tried restarting again, and this time I just left the screen at logon and lo and behold, I couldn't do anything. Again I couldn't move my cursor, the keyboard would not respond, and the blinking line for text would stand still.

After numerous restarts, I concluded that shortly after logon, the computer will just freeze. I can boot in safe mode just fine, and in doing so I was able to get rid of some viruses that I saw were lurking in my system. I thought doing this might solve the problem, but I still was left with a freezing system when I tried booting normally.

I've tried to run system restore through safe mode, but that seems to do absolutely nothing. What else could I do?

No no no I was mentioning the viruses in that when I removed them, it didn't change the whole freezing thing at all.

Johnny Tootall is correct -

You may think you've deleted them all - but there may be still some left on the system.
Move to the Malware Forum and read the stickies located at the top, especially this one.
