hi

i had a malware infection (the system security 2009). i was able to get rid of most of the virus after countless hours.. but ever since i had some problems with the computer, but now the only problem i have is that the boot time takes longer... i used Combofix and it seem to get rid of it... now i wanna use trend micro as someone let me install it on my computer, but it wont scan!! its so annoying!! what's preventing the scan? any help is appreciated!
is there any other programs like combofix that will resolve the boot time problem also? i still need to resolve that..
 
Don't use trend micro, I have it and it sucks.Use malware bytes, they completely kill all viruses found and makes sure they wont come back. I love malware bytes!
