Hi all! This is my first post here, hope i'm going about it the right way... Had XP home edition installed on my computer for 2 years now, have 4 kids using it on internet as well as me, so it picks up a lot of scrap. I found it was getting slower & slower, so did a few things to try & speed it up, like installing Spybot & Adaware, going through the startup tab in Msconfig & getting rid (i think!) of Searchweb2 toolbar. Just want to make sure i don't have anything else in there that's slowing me down. Here's my log, will appreciate any help and/or comments. Thank you!

Howdy:

You would be better served if you posted your log in the Malware Removal forum and let the guru's there handle it!!

He's not looking for tweaks or he wouldn't have posted an HJT log !!! He is complaining about a slowdown and, just by looking at his post, he has Malware problem.. The malware forum is where this post should be!!! :tazz:
