Guys, be extra careful about your System these days. During the Anti-virus program switch from avast! to F-Secure I think I got hit by another virus. During F-Secure scans it reported that is virus in System Information folder. Even the Administrator doesn't have access to it.
After rebooting the PC today, it took ages to go from Loading your Personal Settings to Desktop. TaskBar didn't show up. Just the Desktop icons.
I have say that restricted Administrator's access to WINNT folder: removed Full Control and kept Read/Execute. But this cannot be the reason because even after giving Full Control, it still took ages to load to Desktop. Same happened to Limited Users. The weirdest thing is there is nothing suspicious in HKLM or HKCU.
Now I am running the PC in Diagnostic Startup. It loaded faster just like usual. I am enabling one service at a time, one startup item at a time to see what makes it run slow.
So take care.
McoreD.
