Help needed for slow start up

PC running Vista with Virgin as ISP and Wireless router.
On a normal start up,after the desktop has loaded there is a network icon on the bottom row which lights up followed by the little Virgin symbol which indicates you are connected. Lately the network symbol does not light up and the virgin symbol does not appear for at least 10 minutes.Whilst waiting for this you cannot do anything even off-line stuff and it will not log-off or restart either.Out of frustration I then do a hard shut down and start again and on the 2nd attempt it normally starts a usual although last night on the 2nd attemp I just waited and it took 10 mins to connect.
I run AVG and Advanced System Care free anti-virus and have done for a long time without any issues although I recently installed IOBit Antimalaware.
Anyone have an idea what could be causing this?
Thanks
