The game plays fine after loading, but the wait is killin' me! Only started half way through? That's a tough one then. Online Virus scan? I recently had an executable modifying virus, and I'm really careful with what I put on my system - still got on there somehow. Noticed you're also getting a splash screen. Perhaps you should install the latest patch to remove the cd-check/splash screen? It may include punk buster, but you said it yourself, you're not a huge online fan.... so if you don't use the game online then you have nothing to worry about in regard to PB. Besides, if you have an EAX (4?) compatible soundcard then you realy should get the new patch. The effects really are good.
