compurter slow on startup. whats up with that?

Best answer by Rakanisheu Retired

Webroot is not designed to tune-up the boot up process. I would go through the Windows add/remove control and remove unwanted programs you dont need. If you have certain programs running at startup disable that option. Many programs you may not even need all the time (iTunes etc). If submit a support ticket I can send you logs and point you in the right direction but you will have to remove the programs yourself.

Probably an excessive amount of programs running at startup. The more you have launching at startup the longer your PC will take to get back to "normal"

Good advice in this thread.
I am going under the assumption that you may not know how to manage the startup applications and also I do not know your OS so I will only provide for Windows 7 examples and if you have another version you can research on Microsoft’s site.
If you use CCleaner you can manage startup from there.  If not you can use the built in tool to accomplish the same thing.

While you are at it you could go ahead and clean up the files and applications that you do not need.
