There must be some kind of magnetic shield surrounding me, messing up all computers.
After reading all your suggestions, BEFORE I did anything, I first shut down my computer - it started up in 15 seconds!!!!!
I could not believe my eyes, no fix, and it booted better than ever. Then I said to myself "This can't be correct - so I again rebooted. Right back where it was. 45 minutes!

Ran bootvis. Or tried to, anyway. It wouldn't run - got a "Network error trying to read file". Tried it again - same error message.
Ran Trend Micro Housecall. Or tried to anyway. Started it & it said it was going to take 2 1/2 hours to scan. About 30 minutes into the scan, it just shut down. Closed the browser window!
Went to run it again - 32 hours! About 5 minutes later, it said 2 1/4 minutes remaining. And it seemed to stop there - saying 2 1/4 minutes for well over 10 minutes. It eventually finished, and told me I had 1 infection - a Freeloader_Drivercleaner. I clicked on the link to learn about that virus, but then when i went back to fix it, instead of taking me to Results where I could fix it, it took me back to the start page to scan again!

So to protect my files, I want to do a backup. Ran the DVD Burn program on my computer to try to make DVD of all my photos, docs, etc - It cannot find the DVD drive. It thinks it doesn't exist. But I can read from that drive - but it won't write to it.

But this isn't the only computer issue. Yesterday my laptop died. The power socket isn't working. Fortunately, it is under warranty, but I'll be without that for 2 - 4 weeks.

And to top it all off, I was out driving, and needed directions, so used my car GPS system. It took me in the opposite direction, and got me lost!

GRRRRRR!!!!!
