    I am using a Dell desktop PC (Windows XP Pro, 2002, SP3) that I had not used in about 5 months. I only have 512MB ram, but it did fine before, but now it's very slow (takes firefox about 3 minutes to load, programs take about the same time or longer to open, etc. . .). I have tried the malware removal steps but nothing is faster. Logs are attached.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    I am not finding any malware in your logs. I suggest you post in the software forum for further assistance.

    Rerun Hitman and have it remove that PUP.

    Other than that, your logs are clean.

    Since you are not having any malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. You can uninstall RogueKiller and HitManPro.
    2. Go back to step 4 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. If running Vista or Win 7, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
      related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link
