I am having feeling that my amd phenom was faster than this system

It is i7 with 4gb ram and has a 1gb graphics card.

Could there be a problem with my W7 64 bit?

How do i make it faster?

I don't know much about systems.
I can feel it very slow.

It might be the hard disk. I have bought 1TB hard disk and it is sata.
I have windows 7's default virus scanner and it is upto date.

I don't know how to troubleshoot this.
Please ask me questions, so i can post more details.

When the system loads, The desktop icons become like an "unknown" icons and it takes more seconds to become the normal icons.

If i open firefox, it is also taking longer time to load. I have to wait for every small events.
If i shutdown the computer, it takes longer time.

System has only one OS.
Windows 7 64 bit.

What is SSD?
I do open lot of browser tabs. But the system is slower from the loading itself. I have used Pentium 4 too.





Don't...

My system is having virus.
I did a full scan today and found few virus in some rar files inside f drive.

They were photoshop plugins which i downloaded from torrent.
I deleted all the virus which were shown high alert in MSE

Unfortunately, i have already unzipped one rar file and opened that pdf plugin in my photoshop.
Again i run another scan, this time, it should one more virus in c drive. somewhere in firefox profile.

What do i do?
Should i go for a complete format?
How do i take backup safely if i need to go for a complete format?
