Well i dont see anything "nasty" running. I would try cleaning your registry, if you dont have a program to do this I would recommend ccleaner (ccleaner.com). And run Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D and see if they find anything.
I did the clean up but the computer takes forever to start up and take for ever to shut down as soon as I turn it on it stays at the windows screen for at least 3 mins then takes another 5 mins once I log in and the same to shut down takes forever
Download the trial version of Ewido Anti-spyware from HERe
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ and save that file to your desktop. When the trial period expires it becomes freeware with reduced functions but still worth keeping.
* Once you have downloaded Ewido Anti-spyware, locate the icon on the desktop and double-click it to launch the set up program.
* Once the setup is complete you will need run Ewido and update the definition files.
* On the main screen select the icon "Update" then select the "Update now" link.
* Next select the "Start Update" button, the update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
* Once the update has completed select the "Scanner" icon at the top of the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
* Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine"
* Under "Reports"
* Select "Automatically generate report after every scan"
* Un-Select "Only if threats were found"
Close Ewido Anti-spyware, Do NOT run a scan yet. We will do that later in safe mode.
* Reboot your computer into Safe Mode now. You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight Safe Mode then hit enter.
IMPORTANT: Do not open any other windows or programs while Ewido is scanning as it may interfere with the scanning process:
* Launch Ewido Anti-spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
* Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab then click on "Complete System Scan".
* Ewido will now begin the scanning process. Be patient this may take a little time.
Once the scan is complete do the following:
* If you have any infections you will prompted, then select "Apply all actions"
* Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.
* Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
* Close Ewido and reboot your system back into Normal Mode.
* Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
* A new window will open...click the Check Now button
* Enter your Country
* Enter your State/Province
* Enter your e-mail address and click send
* Select either Home User or Company
* Click the big Scan Now button
* If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
* It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
* When download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan
* When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location. Post the contents of the ActiveScan report
Come back here and post a new HijackThis log along with the logs from the Ewido and Panda scans.
