Hi, I bought my MBP 15inch 2011 baseline around 4 months ago.

Info:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB

I bootcamp my MBP
so 430GB/500GB is for Mac
70GB/500GB is for Windows 7

I currently used up
50GB of 430GB (Mac)
30GB of 70GB (Windows 7)

I am not sure why, but my booting time for Mac increased so much...
It used to be really quick. However, it started to become slower...
I timed today, and it took me 5 minutes to boot Mac on my MBP.

Can Anyone Help me to identify the problem and fasten my booting time?

P.S. my Windows 7 booting time is also slow as well :(
 
Interesting, at least we have ruled that out. OK next, in your application open font book and select the 'All Fonts' option, wait until the list has finished refreshing. Are there any names with a black bullet point next to them?

I do not see any "black bullet point" next to them
However, I see Exclamation mark (= !) with yellow triangle.

when I click on to those fonts, it says
"Multiple copies of this font are installed. you can use the resolve duplicates command to automatically deavtiavte the copies in use."

P.S. When I boot Windows 7, it is really slow as well.
Do you think I have virus on my MBP?
Should I try searching virus with antivirus?
This might be a possible problem.. but i am not sure
I use TimeMachine. My time machine hdd is my external harddrive, so i need to connect to my mbp to backup(or copy) the data to my external harddrive by using timemachine.
I haven't done that for a while.. like about 2 weeks-ish.. do you think it might be the problem?


Btw, Thanks for keep helping me out. :)

Double check these items, too. Google if these are foreign to you:

reset PRAM
reset SMC
In system preferences -> startup, make sure your Mac drive is selected.

Thanks!
I will try after finishing up backing up by using timemachine.

if i reset pram and smc, it would not delete or affect my windows 7 boot camp right? I mean I don't want it to be erased or something :(

No viruses exist in the wild that can run on Mac OS X, and there never have been any, since it was released 10 years ago. The handful of trojans that exist can be easily avoided with some basic education, common sense and care in what software you install:
 
I waited until the timemachine backing up is finished..
rebooted -> stillt takes 5 minutes -> Fail

PRAM & SMC Reseted
rebooted -> still takes 5 minutes -> Fail

What should I do now :'(?
Should I bring my computer to an Apple store.....?
