Hi all --

So my computer got a virus, I decided to use system restore, and upo
doing that, my computer took about 7 full minutes to load (it's a 3.
mgz Pent IV 100 gig HD 1 gig ram system) ---

I then ran various virus programs and saw instances of a worm (ove
1000 instances) that somehow got unlocked when I ran the restor
program (is that even possible??)

Anyways,  now I THINK (as I cross my fingers) that the virus is gone
but now the boot time is STILL taking a long time (4 minutes plus).
Some questions:

1] does a full HD make a difference w/ regard to boot time?
2] Would reinstalling windows possibly make a difference?
3] is there a possible spyware/adware/registry problem that norto
would not have picked up?? I have some ad-ware programs too, but jus
checking.

Thanks soooo much!
