Whenever I start up my Toshiba Satellite laptop, the startup takes at

Also, many programs have become slower and the mouse "skips"
frequently. I've tried to defragment, get rid of viruses, and try a
system restore, but none of that works either. This has actually
happened before and after defragmenting, getting rid of viruses and
doing a system restore, it worked. But now, a month later, the same
thing has come back, but it won't go away this time. Does anyone have
a solution?
Are you absolutely sure your computer is free of viruses, adware, and
spyware? Which programs did you use (and did they have the most
up-to-date definitions?)?
You didn't mention deleting temp files (always do this *before* the
defrag).
And you should probably disable certain apps/processes from starting up
in the first place.
