Maybe you *believe* you eradicated the virus...there could still be some
remnants that only an OS re-load will fix. But it sure would help if you
would provide some helpful information like: PC specs (CPU, speed, RAM,
make, model, etc.) and the name of the virus you had/have and what you
did to remove it. And try to define "slow" (i.e. it used to take 30
seconds to boot but now it takes 30 minutes).

Well...OK, I understand, but if you can't answer the rest of the
questions above, I can't be much help...at least not until my crystal
ball comes back from the repair shop. You might want to seek out some
local help...someone who can be at your keyboard.

Good luck.
