    My girlfriend's computer suddenly became REALLY SLOW in the past couple weeks, and we can't pinpoint what may have done it. I've run every virus and spyware scan I can think of, and it's still not so good. I'm attaching a HijackThis log here -- anyone have any thoughts on which items may be slowing things down and generally don't need to be there?

    Thanks.
