I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with Vista SP1. I got a virus about 2 weeks ago and re installed Vista. Everything worked fine for a week, then the computer became slow at some point. I use the computer for music production so I noticed everything slowed down because my projects were suddenly overloading the system.
Anyway, I have tried to work what is wrong. I have scanned with Kaperksy, Ad Aware, Spybot and not found anything. I have checked device manager and everything is working fine. There is plenty of space on the hard disk. I have checked programs running at startup and disabled any unnecessary. I have checked disks for errors.
So what else could it be? And everything worked fine for a week after re installing the operating system, then everything seemed to suddenly slow down. I had been installing a lot of software, but only programs I had on before I re installed the operating system.
Any help appreciated

How did you accomplish that?
If you used a back up drive, perhaps it was infected?

yeah, a back up drive was involved.
But I have scanned it with Kapersky, Ad Aware and Malwarebytes anti malware and nothing showed up.
You reckon there could be some hidden virus on there or its corrupted or something?
