Download AVG and run a scan.

More likely to be stuff you've installed kicking in when you start up. Check Task manager while its running slow and see which processes are taking up all the resources, then google the process name to see what it is and what its doing.

Got hotmail live / msn messenger / skype / stuff like that? Anything set to automatically run on startup will be grinding away
