Hope you guys and gals can help me out. Thanks in advance.

Symptoms: increasingly slow boots, large ram usage even after a fresh boot, general slow switching between apps, new unexplained processes and startup items, computer will not go into screensaver mode.

Followed the "must read this..." instruction. Some problems were found and fixed. Here are the results:

ATF cleaner: ran it. Good to go.

System restore: followed instructions. OK.

AVG Anti-Spyware: Ran it in safe mode. It deleted two cookies, and quarantined two HKU entries and two files. It did not produce a log, despite my following your instructions. Sorry.

SUPERAntiSpyware Home Edition: ran it. Here's the log:

AVG: I have a regularly updated and run AV, so I skipped this.

Windows Update: My system was already up-to-date.

Reboot - Test: There are now far fewer questionable processes running, but there's still a pretty high ram usage, so I'd still like you to check my HJT log when you have a chance.

Hijack This: Here's the log:
