Dawn
from your run command, type msconfig, and look at your startup items. Look for things that look suspicious. (You can opt to have it not list system services) try disabling a given suspicious item for boot, if it solves the problem, msconfig will provide the items location, and you can go delete it yourself.

Software A lot.
Benchmark Scores Its fast. Enough.
Probably just a damaged ACL. Run a disk check, see if it returns errors, and or can you browse to the firewall executable and run it?
