    I have found that microworlds antivirus and spyware removal kit downloaded here http://www.mwti.net/products/mwav/mwav.asp takes care of most of todays rubbish..
    And they would effect a Linux CD?

    Hmmmm,

    And they would effect a Linux CD?
    Technically, "yes"............... realistically, "no"

    Your malware could be in the "boot sector" ?

    Just theoretically, of course?

    Cpu Fried

    After reading through what he's posted im gonna go out on a limb here and suggest a Check of the cpuid limit option in his bios, I had a maddening problem out of a dell 8400 once where no matter what i did it took Ages to do anything.
    (mouse cursor would redline the taskmanager)

    Biostars its called CpuidMaxval Enable/Disable
    Dells its cpu compatiblity mode enable/disable
    Asus its Cpuid limit or 03h enable/disable


    Look for anything called cpuid limit or 03h enable/disable and make sure it is OFF
    or you will be waiting.
