    Incredably Slow Computer
    « on: June 26, 2009, 08:58:09 PM »
    My friend has a computer that runs ultra slow.

    *****
    32-bit computer
    HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC, 1.0 GHz, 4 Gigs of RAM, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57
    Vista SP2
    Anti-Virus: Norton 360 Premiere Edition
    Spyware: Super AntiSpyware
    *****
    Boot up takes about 5 minutes or longer and general browsing on the computer is like we were using an old 486.

    Spyware scans have come out negative, and virus scans have come out negative as well.

    Below is the HiJackThis log.... any ideas??

    Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2
