Is this supposed to happen after a reboot?

Try a Safe Boot - type Msconfig and go to Startup and Disable all.
Reboot and see the difference.

You probably have too many programs running at Startup.

BTW - the only way to get a 30 second boot is to install an SSD.

I have three things checked: Micro Security Client, Micro OS, and Java

Did you download the Win 7 ISO and create the install media following Greg's tutorial for a Clean Reinstall?
If not, what did you use for the reinstall?

I haven't reinstalled lately. Last October was the last time I did a reinstall. I used the Windows 7 disc to reinstall. I haven't tried Greg's suggestions yet. I've been trying all suggestions.

That's why most tech enthusiasts will not run such an install but instead Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.

I have the Windows 7 disc. Do you still want me to do this?

Where did you get the disc?

I would go with the clean boot tutorial or try manually removing everything but AV in MSconfig startup tab, this will give you an idea of how fast it can start without any excess programs running, then you can decide if you think you need to do a clean re-install

What about services in msconfig? There are dozens that are checked off.

I bought it at Staples.

Micro os turned out to be a sidebar that I disabled. Part of the command for the security client is msseces.exe if that helps you at all.
