Hi all. I have recently noticed that when I start up my PC or reboot, it is taking longer to get to my desktop. After I log in I get a black screen with just the mouse pointer visible. It stays on this screen for a couple of minutes, when it used to go right to my desktop. I ran Avast and its not detecting any issues and I haven't added thing recently that would cause the start-up to be slower. Any ideas?

I will check those out. Thank you. I did download Avast last week after I thought my PC was infected by a Trojan. Would Avast be causing a longer boot time?

If it's set to scan at every boot it could be.
