Thread dedicated to IT shite.

My questions are;

1) when I switch on my pc it takes about 5min at least to be ready to open internet explorer or any other application. Seems really slow. I have broadband, Service Pack 2, Norton and the microsoft anti-spyware beta thing installed and all is regularly updated and scanned. Any ideas as to how I can speed up the start up process?

2) Sometimes, and this has happend twice now (over about 6 months) norton will pop up and say; "Was-up Yo? we have detected a trojan Horse but cant remove it, cool?" So I say OK, as that is the only option it gives me. now this is a little concerning as a complete system scan with norton shows up nothing. So I update the spyware one and do a scan with that and it found something and removed it. Can anyone reccommend a good, free anti-trojan horse thingy?

Thanks.
