    My Laptop takes an unreasonable amount of time to reboot. I estimate about 15 mins.

    I do not think malware plays a role in this. I have already disabled most of the programs under start-up.

    I have attached my logs for your review.

    No malware, but I see you have Macrium doing a restart on boot up and you have cracking software installed. You also should clean up your desktop....good place for malware to hide. Cleaning out C:\WINDOWS\TEMP and C:\Users\deoch\AppData\Local\Temp....And uninstalling

    WinRAR Universal Crack

    Please do that and get back to me as you may need to just post in the software forum for additional assistance.

    Hi Tim,

    I uninstalled WinRAR Universal Crack, WinRAR and Macrium Reflect, but I still have a 15 minute startup. I also cleared the temp folders.

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks for your help so far.

    The only suggestion would be to post in the software forum as it is not a malware issue.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    3. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have re-enabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    4. Now go to the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 or 10 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    5. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    6. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
