    I'm not sure how to explain problems.

    Basically, when the computer is shut down, on re-start, it is very difficult to get online. It can take hours. This process is slowed down by the processor working at full capacity and the request for anything takes several minutes. I have seen, via task manager 'Word' using 98% of the CPU, while it is just sitting there open. Right now it's working fine, but if I shut the PC down, upon restart, it will encounter this problem for several hours but then the problems cease. It will show that the connections are off, (the cable connection is offline) while the cable modem shows that it is working and all the connections are fine. I'm not certain it is malware. I was hoping that something in the log would stand out to trained eyes.
