HP Pavilion Laptop is slow and choppy - HJT file attached

HI

Very likely your PC just needs a bit of a cleanup and this guide here should help a bit, also the number of startups you have is large and a few apps could contribute to a slowdown are googles desktop search as you already have Windows Desktop search running also, plus a few other items are not needed and just use up ram and CPU cycles,


I would do a test and install StartupCPL and disable (untick the following after you have done the other steps in the guide above)


LSBWatcher
HP Software Update
Google Desktop Search
ATIPTA
AppleSyncNotifier
[{0228e555-4f9c-4e35-a3ec-b109a192b4c2}] Gnotifier
QuickTime Task
EEventManager
FUFAXSTM
Adobe Reader Speed Launcher
iTunesHelper
SunJavaUpdateSched
Microsoft Location Finder
msnmsgr
swg



and remove CTFMon using this neat tool HERE, unless you use the built in speach or handwriting tablet tools for alternative input on MS Office.

Then reboot and see how its running.


If you need to double check you have no malware then these are the steps we would need you to follow, followed by posting a new thread in the malware forum and attaching the logs as mentioned in the guide, with a small description of what your issue is as in slowness.
