    But it starts up successfully, allbeit slowly?
    Sounds like some software you recently installed is playing about with something on startup. Did you put anything new on your machine recently?

    You're probably best just doing a simple uninstall first.
    Good job you didn't put symantec on, you might never have gotten your computer back :)
