Programs starting slow

Since yesterday it seems my laptop seems to have gotten a problem after around 20-30 minutes after start up. all programs start up very slow 5-10 minutes before they start. It is very noticable if you start a program that requires administrative authorization, where the black transparent screen and the authorization can take a long time to appear.

the task manager does not show any processes that are using an extra ordinary amount of usage. it is when doing next to nothing 15-20% cpu usage and 40% physical memory use. but the Intel turbo boost bar shows that I am using almost all my memory.

Does anyone know the cause of this?

I have found a trojan a few minutes ago with superantispyware and have removed it.

Just for your information, you only need to have 64bit versions of Java if you are using the 64bit version of Internet Explorer, all other Browsers are 32bit. The bit rate of Java has to match the browser you use not the bit rate of Windows.

Ok I did what you said, I will give it a good run tonight and I will come back and say how it went. I would already like to thank you for your continued help over these few days and wish you a happy new year.

Ok I have been using my computer for 2 days, the original problems have disappeared but it seems that there was another problem at the same time, I am getting low fps in all the games I play. I am not sure what the problem is but is there a way to find out if there is a problem with the graphics card?
 
#31 ·
Try re-installing the graphics drivers, if you need help with that please ask.

To clean up the last couple of tools used open OTM and click on the Clean Up button, anything that gets left behind on your desktop you can safely delete.
