Hi,

Whenever I turn on the computer, it starts out very slow, especially at the Windows Logo (where the processing bar takes about 15 cycles before the user profiles come out). Also, I have noticed a decrease in performance,about 30%, like slow loading times in games, after I was infected by spyware.

Though there is no evident symptoms of spyware infection, could it be processor? hardware related? or I am still infected? Thanks.

Spyware, Trojans ect can and will slow down your PC....just the same problem you are having. I will not help you with what maybe an infection (there is another area for that) but what I will say is I would investigate maybe there is an infection.
