Hi Guys. Here's the problem: I have hp dv5000 and for the last nine months, it has been going fast until last week when i got hit by a worm called RavMonE.exe. I fixed up all the other problems but this problem doesn't seem to be fixable. When the computer starts up, only 3 applications in the taskbar appear, then for 2 or 3 minutes, it seems as if it crashed then, 2 minutes later other icons appear in the taskbar and these are hp wlan assistant, local area connection and wlan network connection. So please guys help me out.

Actually when my I bought my pc, it came with Norton antivirus. I installed it but I have a program that checks ports and it found once a port used by symantec.

Are you running Norton by any chance? If so you probably still have a remote port opening on your machine burried in the Norton Firewall. That will slow down the network connections being opened. Just a guess on my part.
I would seriously consider rechecking your machine for other issues. Try http://housecall.trendmicro.com and let it do a complete scan just to double check your system.

Thats about the time I would do a format and reinstall of windows, its a pain but if there is a lot of corrupted files and "Gunk" in the system sometimes its the best way to get it running smoothly again.
Thats if you can back up your important files and have the time.
