Please help, not sure if this is an issue with a windows update, malware, trojan, etc, but my PC has been sluggish to start up and seems ok for a while, but ultimately always ends up hanging and the 'working' light on my box blinks in a very slow intermitten pattern. Posting logs and attachments as per the instructions...any direction or help would be a lifesaver...thanks!
