    So for about a week or so when I start my computer it runs pretty well but after sometime, roughly 15-30 minutes, it will just start to run extremely slow. Slow to the point where it takes 30-40 second to close a folder. And if there is any sound the sound slows down and gets muffled and just a hectic noise if that makes sense. I do not have very many processes running at all so its not a matter of not having enough memory. My computer should be running a lot faster than it is. Thanks in advance for all your help. My logs are posted.

    The scans removed a small amount of adware from your system, but I doubt that had anything to do with your slowness. This does not appear to be a malware issue.

    We can clean up a little from running the scans:

    I don't know what this is, but it has been on your system since January:
    C:\WINDOWS\qbbgqacx.txt

    Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
    Tell me if the above is successful and we will do the final cleanup to remove the programs that were downloaded.

    It seems like the computer has not done it for awhile. It might have got cleaned up on those original scans. Thanks for the help
