Windows XP Extreme Slowdown on boot up

[Fern]

Hi, I have a Windows XP Professional system, that is
connected to a network. The system takes about 1 minute
after the Ctrl-Alt_Del is pressed to move from the screen
that says "Loading your personal settings". This used to
take 5 seconds. The only change is that Kazaa was Un-
Installed. Since then the system boot up crawls. Anyone
have ANY ideas?

Thanks

Fern

Fern, if you were using Kazaa chances are that your system is loaded
with spyware and adware.
Use these sites to check and remove the parasites. Try them all since
one may not remove or detect every instance.

Thanks, i do have SpyHunter installed, and I run it every
day, but I must have something that it does not detect..
Thanks again
