OK- computer has been running really slow, closing windows for no reason, and locking up. I ran all the other spyware programs listed, and wanted to see if anyone can find anything wrong . I have Kaspersky, and nothing has shown up as far as I know.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I suggest that you backup any important files & reinstall from scratch.

It's so hard to clean up an infected computer any other way, and impossible to know if you got everything.

Agree with garsh.

There's really nothing in the log that stands out.

You have alot of programs that automatically start with Windows. How much memory is in the system? It could be that most, if not all, physical memory is being used on startup, so Windows starts using space on the hard drive as virtual memory. This can slow down the computer considerably.

Right click on the taskbar (an empty space to the right of the Start button) and click on Task Manager. Click on the Performance tab. Under the section titled Physical memory it will show the total amount installed in the computer and the amount available. Please post these numbers.

I do get a msg quite frequently right now about the virtual memory being full. Forgot to mention that.
here are the numbers under Physical memory:
Total: 514124
Available: changes between 75000-85000
System Cache: 60124

If there are unnecessary start up programs, let me know, and I will see if I can delete them.
Thanks guys.

I'd say that's your problem right there.

My laptop has 2GB of RAM, and my HiJackThis log isn't nearly that long...and Windows takes a good two minutes or so to fully load.

EDIT: Also, how much free hard drive space do you have? The combination of a small amount of physical memory (RAM) and a small amount of hard drive space could seriously lag your computer.

Last I saw I only had used about 43% of the harddrive space

Have you defragged lately?

I might consider buying some extra RAM and defrag at least once. If that doesn't provide a noticeable speed boost, then I'd probably go ahead and reinstall from scratch.

I mean, we could go through that log and nitpick several processes to kill, but there's a chance that even that won't give you a noticeable speed boost.

Basically you have 512MB RAM (memory) installed and at the time of the posting 75MB-85MB was free. Keep the task manager running and open a couple more programs. You'll see the amount of available memory drop even further, you'll hear alot of hard drive thrashing and the system will slow down as windows uses part of the hard drive as virtual memory.

I'd say a memory upgrade would be a good idea. It may not solve all of the issues, but you might be amazed at the performace increase. IMO, memory is one of the best upgrades you can give your computer.

I'm going on a trip starting tomorrow, so I may not be around much for the next week. However, post the type of computer you have and others will let you know what type of memory is needed....and where to get a great deal (of course)

Alternatively, you can use the memory configurator at crucial.com.

I don't have the time right now to go through the list of startup programs and suggest which ones can be prevented from starting automatically. That would be a temporary fix anyway. As you open multiple programs the 512MB of installed memory will be used very quickly. Try upgrading to 1GB or more if possible.

I'm guessing the machine in question is similar to mine and I did throw more memory at it quickly after purchase. If the OP has a PC that over 2 years, doesn't older memory command higher cost or not?

My start menu is bare bones with an AVG scan at 8 a.m. I see a few virus programs, which may invite conflicts.

I'm guessing the system uses DDR and not the newer DDR2.

1GB of DDR will run about $20-25 AR, whereas 1GB of DDR2 will run closer to $10AR. Either way, adding an extra gig of RAM should provide a decent speed boost over 512MB.

Goos fixes a lot of computers (F&F plan) and always lays out the price difference between upgrading completely and getting new (old) memory.
