I have no idea whats going on. I turned my computer on this afternoon, and it started fine, *censored* hen I tried to open firefox and it took about 10 minutes to open. Same with internet explorer. Even task manager takes forever to open. I am current going through the malware removal guide. Could it be something else? I mean once it is open it isn't slow.
