    I just had a virus and went through a cleaning and now my computer starts-up very, very slowly! I mean it takes absolutely forever! So somthing funky is still going on here but I'm not sure what it is. The virus I had was Win 7 Anti-Virus 2011. I would appreciate any assistance!


    thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi Christy. Welcome to CHF.

    You may still have Malware on your Computer.

    I suggest you follow these instructions carefully and post your Logs,so Starbuck, our residident Malware Expert can advise you further.

    Seems complicated but isn't really.

    Hi Christy,

    Please explain what the cleaning process was.
    Was it just running your residant AV and AM software?
    Was it conducted on a malware removal forum?
    Did you follow instructions you read on a site?
    Was it a shop that performed the cleaning?
