    THE VIRUS IS NOT GONE...I don't know what kind of virus is on your computer, but if you have not deleted it (You didn't even find it, I assume) then it can still be affecting your computer. If you have deleted it, it may have changed some settings, tweaked registry, etc. These problems will be hard to fix. My suggestion is that you either find a recovery point for your computer, or, save your important files and reformat it.

    Try creating a new account under Windows accounts on Control Panel and log in using the new account and see if it works faster. If it works fine then transfer your files from the other account and delete the old account. If it doesnt work then I would suggest reinstalling Windows. You can call the manufacturer to get the recovery cds. You should have a serial number or a ticket with the serial on the back of the computer already, so you may be able to get the CD for the version of windows for your PC. I hope that helps.

    your probably still in safe mode , thats why you can't change the theme from classic to normal.

    And if you used malware virus protector and mcaffe anti virus in safe mode and done a full search then the virus should be deleted.

    When you restart your computer keep hitting f8 until a boot menu comes up, select normal mode there and your fixed.
