pc trouble

[kjharry]

When I boot up my pc in the morning it loads up ok but is really slow to load up things like internet explorer or documents or anything really, you can click on something but it might take minutes to load the programe, this does improve as you do more on the pc, is there anything I can do, I already do regular maintenance, defrag, cookies, scandisc, emptying prefetch and recycle bin etc, thanks.

Do you have any anti virus or anti spam programmes that load and scan your system upon boot up? These could slow down your PC.

Mine is scanned upon boot up, so I always leave it alone for 5 mins before using it.

I have Norton antivirus and internet security, not too sure if it scans on boot up though.
