I actually had no idea where to put this.
This wasn't a security problem, and there wasn't anything wrong with my OS. So I might as well put it here.

So about three days ago, Normal mode on my computer would not work. I would be able to login, but nothing would start up. Nothing would be clickable. Even right click wouldn't work.

So I went into Safe mode, and deleted all the rootkits, malware, spyware, and viruses I could find (using Anti-Malware, Spyware Doctor with Antivirus Starter Edition, and Root Repeal). But ever after that Normal mode would not work.

Now, today after finishing my work, I decided to go back to Safe mode, but now Safe mode is also starting to freeze up. So what can be the problem???

Does age have anything to do with this? The problem computer is about 5-10 years old, so I'm starting to think that it's dying from age.
