PC running really slow?

Just booted up and apparently everything takes a really long time to load. FarCry 3 took about half an hour to load while the LoL client took about 20. Same thing for most of the programs.

Would that be caused by a virus? Last night everything ran perfectly fine.

Could be spy/adware, could be virus, could be anything.

CCleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

Defrag while you’re at it.

Have a think for a moment; what have you changed before you turn it off last night?

I didn’t really change anything, all I did was play TF2 than put the PC on sleep mode as usual. When I logged back in this morning everything was really slow. Don’t really know where it went wrong.

So apparently it’s my 1TB HDD’s fault. Everything I have on it will load really slow, while stuff installed on my other HDD will load really quickly.

Time to reformat
