I took off webroot and 7 Mcafee on start up except for update. Now start up is just a 2 minutes. I think that is getting better don't you think.

go to Start>Run
type msconfig
and hit enter
then go to startup tab
and uncheck unnecessary processes in your start up
u must do it because 6 minutes is really killing and unnormal
so do it
and just put necessary processes in your start up

It sounds like you might have a virus. Run a virus scan on your pc. If that doesn't work you might have too many programs starting up at the same time. Shut some of them down. You can also try defragmenting your pc's hard drive.

Is it possible that the anti-virus scan is step to run with every boot?
