I cant insert the screenshot, but it doesn't really give any new information. There isn't a text log its essentially the names of the viruses it found and if you hover your cursor over them it tells me what I posted before with regards to location.

OK lets tackle the speed problem

First update windows to service pack 1

Then IE to version 9


Once that has installed

Clear Cache/Temp Files
Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop
  • Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
  • It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
  • Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
  • Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.


On completion run windows defragementer

Then let me know how it is behaving

And although you do not use IE it is integral to the system and does need updating
