I suggest you download Process Explorer.For further information about Process Explorer see here:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx This freeware utility performs a similar function to the Windows Task Manager but it goes much further. In Process Explorer please add a Column. Select View, Select, Columns, Process, Performance and check the box before Start Time. Next select "Show Processes from all Users" and click on the column header "Start Time". This will sort so that you can see start with the earliest first. You may need to click twice or three times.The first item I see is smss.exe =Session Manager. You should then see a long list of items loading over a brief period of time. The boot process ceases on my computer with the loading of two AVG files (my anti-virus is AVG 2011). How long does it take from smss.exe loading for the main files to load? What are the files arriving at the end and how long does it take for them to appear after smss.exe?Can you also detail what anti-malware software is installed? I have left your second question for someone else to answer. You will get better answers if you do not combine unrelated questions in a single post i.e. each question should have it's own thread. That makes it clearer how answers relate to questions. Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell
