Another Comp Problem

Erie · 05-30-2007, 06:55 AM

Okay, so it's taking windows xp like 10 minutes to hit the login screen, then another 10 minutes to completely load the desktop. It's most likely not a virus, and I defragged it the other day, so I can't tell what it wrong with it.

The only difference from a week ago is that I get a message from utorrent saying "this program is freeware, if you paid...," and a similarly, my mouse speed gets reset after login every time also.

Any suggestions?

Run housecall.trendmicro.com. Download Ad-Aware, Spybot: Search and Destroy, E-wido, and CA Pest Patrol and then re-run housecall.trendmicro.com. Sounds like you have a virus and don't know it. If you just get the trial versions, it won't cost you anything but time to take it out.
