Help How do i keep my desktop from going so slow

iLaptop

New member
I just recently gotten a virus that called "Smart HDD Virus". I googled it and and tried to remove it in safe mode, and i think i halfly removed it cause i got rid of the S.M.A.R.T. Repair popups. I think i downloaded a antivirus i think it may have been a tracking cookie virus. I dont remember how though. Now, whenver i login into Windows 7 Laptop, the desktop and files take a whole lot more to load than usual, i would click the start button and there would be no files loading up, it took atleast maybe 5 minutes to come up. Then whenever i try to navigate through the start button im not able to because i cant access the desktop and its takes forever to load, there is a circlish loading bar on it so i have no access to the desktop whatsoever. The only way i can access files is through the start button but that doesnt help much. Oh and whenever i try to open my browser it would take a really long time as with other programs as well. And whenver im trying to login through sites like youtube, facebook, and twitter, they wont let me login and im using opera internet browser. I think this is cookie virus im not sure and this has been happening for the past 4 days i cant get ride of it

Whenever i try to login through sites its giving me an error message


Edit : Now all my files are showing on the laptop and i cant acess the laptop whatsoever, i cant even screen shot it cause i cant access the desktop icons, it wont let me.

Just wondering, do you have access to another computer allowing you to downlad and burn the necessary programs to a cd. Then install them using safe mode.
