slow restart

Hey guys, quick question for you.

My computer (windows xp) is extremely slow at shutting down and rebooting. It turns of faily quickly if i turn it off as soon as windows starts. But if i let windows run for a while, do some stuff, and then try to restart it takes forever. Probably takes 3-5 minutes, depending on how much stuff i had going on. I've never encounted this before, and i have no idea why my computer would be doing this.

Any recommendations?
 
Yes, i have scanned with norton internet security 2005

here is what it finds, 5 threats


file name: / Threat name:

aphex.ex / adwaregamespyarcade
del1e.tmp / adware.zangosearch

I tried removing these a while ago and couldn't get it to work. ARe either of these known to cause restart problems?
