    Has anyone else noticed this in last few days? It did not start after a new update just randomly started taking a minute or two to fully start up. In the past it took 15 seconds or less. I suspect it may be taking longer than normal because other programs, like a keylogger, need time to start up.

    I am concerned I may have a virus. I have had some other strange issues with IE and a .ddl IE file. I know that hackers will hide trojans/maleware in .ddl files.

    I have ran a few different scans with Ad-aware and Malwarebytes and came up with one file Rogue.WinAntiVirus.

    Hopefully some of you have had similar issues. Any insight would help. I am seriously considering just taking it to a professional before risking typing in my password on stars. I might just be paranoid too.

    Thanks.

    I actually meant that the client itself is taking much longer to startup, but thx for the response.
