Hi there,

I got spyware a few days ago. I have used CWShredder, Ad-Aware SE, Spybot. They seem to clear out a lot of bad stuff. But the remaining problem is that my computer is very slow to start up. Every time it starts up, it pauses at "Applying computer settings", and "Applying personal setitngs" for like 10 mins each! Could someone look at my log or tell me what might be the problem?

Thanks in advance!
