My laptop is running extremely slow. It was brought brand new in 2006 and has been a good performer, but has recently become sluggish and unresponsive. I have run CCleaner, Hijack this and run all sorts of Malware/Spyware tools, but there is no improvement. Any ideas?
I have posted the latest hijack this log for you to see.

Hello matt_22

Before you wipe your hard drive I would strongly reccomend that you visit our malware removal forum as if any malware exists our expert will be able to remove them and save all your files. In my own opinion at this stage a format is considered overkill.

Please read this article before posting in our Malware removal forum.

Thanks
