Reply:Based on what you stated, there are residues of the virus infection which is causing your laptop to be sluggish. You can attain a third party software to clean up the residues.





My best advise is to back up all your valuable data to an external HD or other reliable medium. You then should reformat the laptop HD and reinstall the OS. Though the virus is currently eliminated, it still may exists in the restore points or other part of the HD depending the type of computer viruses you had.





After doing the reformat and OS reinstall, make sure you have a very good anti-virus software and do not download unknown files or open unknown email especially from public website (myspace, facebook, yahoo personal websites, etc.) so you can avoid unnecessary down time or going through what you are currently experiencing.





Good luck!
