In addition to slow BOOT (5 minutes) and slow activation of OFFICE products I
find that the Add/Remove window does not populate
However the Tool under Window Defender does produce results ?!?
I have cleaned my system - removed caches, temp files, etc
Run several Virus checkers
Note: about a week ago I did get hit with WINFIXER but it was stopped by
Norton
I even used another tool to remove any remnants
The registry looks clean
However, after Boot - after say Word comes up (60 seconds) the applications
all run properly -- Even Internet Explore comes up clean and uses web
I suspect a possible slowdown in the retrieval of files by the harddisk.
(Disk or Fan are making "revving" noise - doesn't seem normal)
Is that Possible ??? Any other suggestions ?
Thanks
