My system is running really slow, and has been having a few start-up issues.

Here is my HijackThis log:

Hi ps3g4m3r,

Have you recently removed some malware?

I see some entries, but they look like leftovers.

Please re-open HijackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {AB48E1C2-5F53-43A4-BD92-0D3390276261} - (no file)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: ljJYPife - ljJYPife.dll (file missing)
O20 - Winlogon Notify: mljhijj - mljhijj.dll (file missing)


Now close all windows other than HijackThis, then click Fix Checked. Close HijackThis.

Then reboot the computer and let me know if that takes care of the startup problems.

I did clean malware recently, yep.

I also fixed the items you told me, it started up perfectly, i think you've solved my problems.

But it's still a bit slow, maybe that's just my super old computer

Glad to hear that the worst is over. :)

You could try installing ServicePack 3
http://www.microsoft...;displaylang=en
Make sure to change the language if English is not the correct one.

I would recommend doing that anyway and it might help improve performance.
