Inspiron 15R (5537) long boot time (8 minutes)

Just received a new Dell and the boot time is 8 minutes to desktop.  How do I find the problems.  This is a Core i7 with windows 7 and is very slow.  Something is wrong.  Any suggestions.

Does the system have McAfee, Norton or one of the other invasive security suites on it?

I just received your question today - 3/3/20415???  Anyhow, this was all resolved late December and early January.  Turned out to be a bad Windows 7 install.  Reinstalled and things were better but then it was still slow and eventually they sent a new PC which worked right off the bat.  So, bad hard drive perhaps and faulty Win 7.
