Hi Everybody!

I shall be grateful if you can be of any help solving my
problem mentioned below. You can email me at
p_buv@rediffmail.com

I have a desktop computer with Windows XP Professional
Edition with AMD Athlon 2000+ processor. The problem
with this computer is that it has become too slow to work
with. To give you a clear picture, I give below the facts:

1) Its C: drive has a total of 18 GB capacity of which
   2.18 GB is free.
2) It has a Norton Anti-Virus software which is uptodate
   and does not show any virus threat.
3) The computer is often connected to the Internet and is
   firewalled. Any infected files/virus trying to sneak
   into the computer are detected/deleted by the Anti-
   Virus software.
4) It takes about 2 to 2.5 minutes to boot up and again
    takes about 1.5 to 2 minutes to shut down.

Are all the above problems relate to the slow performing
AMD processor or is it due to heavy usage of C:/ drive or
is it due to some unknown virus that might have crept
into the computer ? Be kind enough to resolve the above
issues.
