    I thought this was a malware problem. So, I ran most of the malware removal procedure:
    - aborted SuperAntiSpyware because it ran the night before
    - Combofix failed to create a combofix.txt log file
    Three pieces of malware and three bad files were found and removed.

    I opened the PC and cleaned off the heat sink, case fans and power supply (it was running cool prior to the cleaning).

    AMD Athlon64 3400+ 1.81GHz, running WXP Home SP3 with 512mb of PC3200 memory.

    Disk defrag reported drive is not fragmented.

    I have included the log files.

    Thank you

    The reason you are running slow is due to lack of memory. Your logs show the below
    You need at leaste twice this amount of memory to properly run Win XP. So at a minimum, double your RAM to 1 GB.
