Hopefully the boot times will start to improve.

Let me know how everything is now.Boot time was a little improved but I think a scan is running every time I boot up. In the task manager it's called DoScan? After doing the avenger, on the reboot several pop up errors with the title of "no disk" kept appearing which was very odd. Here's the log...

    • Choose the radio button marked Create a Restore Point on the first screen then click Next Give the Restore Point a name then click Create.

    • Next go to Start > Run and type Cleanmgr
    • Click OK
    • Click the More Options Tab.
    • Click Clean Up in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created clean one.
