So, when I click on my desktop name/icon it's at least 60-90 seconds before my desktop even appears and then it still takes time to load up. My computer's not the fastest, but it wasn't this slow before either. I have to say up front, I am very good about running anti-spyware programs (daily), I have AVG, I do disk clean up and defrag'ing numerous times a week. Could something else be the problem? Maybe something I've not thought of, I'm no expert when it comes to computers so I am very careful about what I do.
