    Greetings, eddie17.

    What's the make and model # of your machine? Does the machine run quicker while in Safe Mode?

    Also, please download and run Free PC Audit, a stand-alone system information tool.

    (If you get a Security Warning, don't worry about it - uncheck the 'Always ask before opening this file' box, and click 'Run').

    When the scan completes, click File > Save As, name the file 'Report', and save to an easily found location, such as your Desktop.

    Then attach that file to your next post per these instructions: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post.

    Your report is showing no antivirus software, at least none that I could find. It may still be prudent to go through the Read & Run Me First thread and attach the requested logs to a new thread in the Malware Forum - let the guys there pass your machine as clean, just to be safe.

    If I'm mistaken about the antivirus, pardon me - but if not, you really need to get some protection. There are many good, free a/v programs.

    Nothing really stands out as far as your processes and startups, other than a few minor things. Again - does the machine speed up noticeably in Safe Mode? If so, you might try checking all of your device drivers, make sure they're all current.

    Tap F8 repeatedly while powering up will allow you to choose safe mode .

    Not seeing any malware in those logs, and what minor issues you had were dealt with by the scanners.

    Please explain to us exactly what operations are slow! For example answer the below:

    • Is boot up slow?
    • Is shutdown slow?
    • Is browsing/surfing slow?
    • Is downloading slow?
    • Is running any application?
    • Is it also slow in safe boot mode?
    • Also are any process showing in Task Manager to be using a lot of CPU time?
    • Anything else slow?
