slow computer

[moi]

Hi there, my computer runs really slow and am talking
taking almost 20mins to bootup and about 6secs for even
the start button to come up when it's clicked. The
problems i had a 128MB RAM even dbld it to 256 and even
refromatted my computer. Now i have no documents or
installed programs onmy comp but it still runs that slow.
When i slut my WIN XP Cd to re-install or something the
TREND CHIPWAY virus guard alerts me on a BOOT sector virus.
Trying to install WIN 2000 on the same comp (XP removed)
it takes almost 5hrs to formatt 9still on 60% complete.
What could be wrong? Please help

When reformatting a disk, the boot sector is not affected. The best
option is to use an antivirus emergency disk set to remove the virus.
This feature is available in any antivirus system.

Um, you were informed you had a virus. Did you fix the problem?
