Hi there.

I have the weirdest problem. And I know it's not a virus, cause I use panda titanium and update every day, and scanned several times. But heres the problem: Just when I boot up, everything seems fine, except these horribly long and strange lags, when I right-click on a random object, and when I start notepad or something as simple as picture viewer. But then after a while, something happens and I can't copy/paste or move my icons around, really weird. I hope someone can help me... Thnx in advance

looks like a virus to me!
Update the microsoft patches (critical and security) and that might solve the problem.

Get a trial version of norton or mcafee, run a full scan and then report results.

hope this helps
