guys those online hijack this scanners are rubbish.... they should not be a primary source of analysis....
spkenn5, have you ran the standard issue tools discussed in the Must read sticky

edifier

Yes they are 'rubbish'.

He's already ran the Kaspersky online scan which showed the presence of a Worm which Norton Quarantined. And i see you installed Norton again which i still feel is responsible your issues.

Run these 2 scans and report anything found.

Download Ewido(AVG Antispyware) http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ then set it up this way http://rstones12.geekstogo.com/ewidosetup.htm You will need this later in safe mode
Make sure to update this program.

Next, download, install and update 'A-squared' here http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

Download ATF-Cleaner to your desktop from this link
http://www.atribune.org/content/view/19/2/ You will need it later in safe mode.

Reboot into safemode.

Begin running your scans in this order.

Run AVG Antispyware - make sure of the following settings.

Select the "Scanner" icon at the top of the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine".
Under "Reports"

Select "Automatically generate report after every scan"
Un-Select "Only if threats were found"
Save this scan log.

Run A-squared and delete what it finds.

Run ATF-Cleaner from safe mode.Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
If you use firefox also, select at top of ATF cleaner-tick Select all and run again.

Reboot into normal windows and post the safemode scan log from AVG Antispyware.

spkenn5

edifier

Sorry, but i'm not seeing the presence of major malware to cause the slow bootup. I feel that it is some sort of Software Conflict and still believe Norton is at least part of it. What i would do is P.M. 'Buzz' and see if he has any other suggestions. He certainly has a world more experience that I.

Buzz1927

When you ran AVG anti-spyware you didn't delete what it found. Run it again and be sure to choose "Delete".

I think edifier might be right in saying that the problem probably isn't malware related, but it can't hurt to check a couple of other things.

1. Download this file - combofix.exe
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall
