hey everyone. i have been trying for months to repair my computer. the only way i can do anything is from safe mode. i have tried using system restore and no luck. free trial versions and scanners indicate that there are no viruses on my computer. i have spybot search and destroy and no ads at all. it would seem like my computer is fine, but when i try to start it up, when the main screen hits, it goes SO SLOW you'd think it froze. it takes hours to load the desktop images and is basically useless it is so slow. i am an editor and need my computer back. i have 80 gigs of memory so i know its not lack of space. do i have a virus? why is my computer so slow? when i say slow, i mean USELESS. HELP!!! when i go on windows task manger, it says i have 40 processes going, and my CPU usage is 100%. How? WHat can i do to make my PC normal again? is there any hope?

Have you defragmented you hard drive, ran a thorough check disk, checked in start>run>msconfig to see how many programs are in startup, checked your ram with docmemory tester available at CNET DOWNLOADS? If you need a list of essential startup programs and what programs you can turn off go to the pacs-portal website for a complete listing.
