Question

Is it normal for a computer to run a little slower after a complete PC recovery on Windows XP. I had a virus..

Answer 1

yes, my windows xp got a virus and after we got it repaired, couldn't even watch videos on youtube!

Answer 2

yes its very possible, there is probally some traces off the virus but arent active anymore. The only way after i get hit with a big virus is to format my pc. Then it runs like it is fresh out of the box. use this if interested in formating (note you need windows reinstall disk to do this and you will lose all data) http://www.whitecanyon.com/format-c-driv...
