Start menu and taskbar

[peasepud 59]

I seem to have major problems with me laptop (maybe taking it in with me for a dump wasnt a good idea!)

 

Its running reaaaaaaaly slow and the Start menu and taskbar stop responding, Its as if theyre just an image, even the clock has stopped.

 

Tried rebooting numerous times, checked MSCONFIG and shut off miscellaneous items in Startup but no joy. It was fine yesterday but since I defragged it last night its been nowt but bother My clock currently shows 23:51 and has done for the last ten minutes or so.

MSCONFIG should have turned anything like that up.

 

Does the problem improve if you leave it off for a couple of hours? Does the fan sound like it's working overtime?

In reply to all three of those,

 

Nothing appears that I can see, what I did seem to have is a shitload of svchost.exe running, maybe about 10 or so even though I only had one occurence of Firefox going. It must be a virus although the softwares not picking it up, I now have the sam problem on the main PC but on there its identifying a trojan and deleting but it just keeps reappearing.
