It makes me wonder what the heck was going on in the background while I was spending my time post to MR.  |
If you had virus protection software installed it had to inspect evey file on the computer every time it booted up. Hours...
I got rid of all of them and limit myself to a good firewall and stay on safe sites like this one.
