    I'd use this to manage the startups; WINPATROL
    That said, spyware terminator claims to be an anti virus, and you have Avast. Should only use one anti virus, unless ST has an option for turning this feature off, don't know.:confused
    I'd also dump all of those toolbars.
    And do you need Hotspot Shield? I find many of these web surfing identity programs to be a drag on speed.
    Are you having issues? What are they?:wave

    Yes Brandy ST has an option to disable the AV in it. I'm using ST with Avast too.

    I'd get rid of the Nero backup and nvidia update entries if you're not using them.

    Thanks guys Brandy it seems to be running slower than normal on all internet sites and the wife is having troubles with some of her facebook games she plays they just dont load, reinstalled and updated java and adobe flashplayer and is still the same. I play COD series online and Aceshigh online and have no probs with them. I ran virus and spyware scans and the pc is clean so I'm stumped on what to do.

    Did you do anything from my previous post? Those steps will help increase the performance, many time significantly.

    Also, what browser are you using? And do you have the anti virus disabled in spyware termonator? What about that Hotspot shield?:wave:wave

    This from Google :confused probably should Revo it!!
    Another little nit pick. Not starting on boot if I read your HJT right, but xTHECATx do you use Vuze/Azureus? Again if not launched you wont "seed".
    I'm far from a HJT analyst :-D so wait for more people to respond. These below are normally fixed though.

    And have you done the other steps? Is it running better? If using IE8, go to start>All programs>accessories>system tools> internet, no add ons. Does that run better? IE8, on a standard install, comes loaded with add ons and filters that can have a deleterious effect on browsing.

    You can stop these in the browser by going to tools>manage add ons and disabling the add ons and filters. :wave:wave
