For some reason when I start up my A300 Toshiba Laptop when it finishes loading it will say Welcome and for some reason it will take a very long time at that screen before i get to my desktop? Does anyone know why, could it be a virus or something?

Thanks

Have you done any virus scans?

Download TrendMicro HijackThis.exe (HJT) to the Desktop.

• Double-click on HJTInstall.
• Click on the Install button.
• It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe.
• Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
• Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button
• HijackThis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
• Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your post.
• Do not have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Oh ya that might be it becuase while i was browing the web AVG said a virus was detected in the internet explorer process...

You likely have a lot of programs booting in the background as your PC starts.

I dont think its that becuase I have almost nothing booting at the start... lol

I seem to have this problem too. It just sort of gradually happened. It might be because I'm installing more and more.

Wait nope no virus I scanned and stuff so I guess it must be something else and is it neccisary to post a scan is it secure?

If you want me to investigate then post the log. If not then don't.

I can't say yes or no without seeing logs.
