Really hope you can help me out here. I did not know wheter I must post here or in the malware section, because I don't know what is causing the problem and because it involves slow Windows.
I have Windows XP Home edition, and use Norton antivirus as well as ZoneAlarm. About two days ago my computer just got painfully slow for no apparent reason. I have a Pentium 4 with 512MB RAM, but with windows running with only for instance Mozilla, Taskmanager shows 100% computer usage. Even browsing through files in My Computer is painfully slow and scrolling is very slow. Also just typing sometimes shows delays. I tried Spybot S&D, Spysweeper, and updated Norton. All removed a lot of files but the problem is still there. Norton still has some files it can't delete, but it doesn't look harmful. Spybot finds nothing.
Here is my Hijackthis log:

thanks in advance guys! I already checked every running process in taskmanager, but can't find any that are obviously malicious. Also, when running a game, the game runs smoothly once it starts. But using windows programs and stuff like mozilla and IE is super slow.
Would aprecciate any help
