PC SHUT DOWN TIME IS VERY VERY SLOW

[AGT]

Hello

Can anyone give good advice as to why my PC takes so long (up to 5 minutes or longer) to close down?

I am running Windows XP Professional.

Thanks to Malwarebytes I have just removed 2 Trojan Agents from the Registry Keys.

Looking forward to getting some good advice. Many thanks in advance.

Once you get your computer cleaned up.....

Delete any temp files and run a check disk on your hard drive....

Then run this full CheckDisk scan - Cut and paste this code into the Run box - It will restart your computer and run a full 5 stage check -

Make sure all other programs are closed first - This takes about 30 mins , so let it run and it will check and repair most items -

CMD /C ECHO Y|CHKDSK C: /R | SHUTDOWN /R /T 30

Then run sfc /scannow by using the same method as above - If you have your install CD/DVD place that in and run it while this is running -

If there is no improvement then please post back -

Thank You -
