    Welcome to WindowsBBS Don :)

    I only see 1 thing in you log that needs removed, but I can't be certain that you have HijackThis properly installed, so would like to make sure of that before we use it to do any fixing. Please do a scan with HijackThis and save the log, then post it here.

    BTW, you did not save dss.exe to the desktop as recommended, but instead clicked Run on the download. I know this because it was run from your Temporary Internet Files directory. Please download it again and save it to your desktop, just in case we need it again.

    When did the system slowdown begin? Any other symptoms?

    Great! HijackThis is properly installed. Scan again and place a check next to the following entry, close all other windows, then click Fix Checked.

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - (no file)


    Close HijackThis.

    I don't expect you will see much, if any, improvement by fixing that entry though. Again, when did the slowdown begin? Was it after the installation of a particular software, Windows Update, gradual slowdown .... what?? Is everything slow, eg; bootup, logon, programs opening and functioning, internet browsing, shutdown?

    Slow Computer/Spyware?

    Thanks for the feedback and suggestion which I did. The results are yet to be determined. The slowdown happened in the last month or so part of which co-insided with installation of windows live. I have removed most of that except for the photo tool which might also go.
    I also have had problems with comcast.net that also happened about the same time which also was the last windows security update. I talked to comcast who blamed it on mcaffee which I removed and re-installed and even disabled it which of course had no effect with that problem. I talked to several IE windows people and let them on my computer to try to fix it but still had the same problem after their help after re-booting. I finally figured out it was the Phishing check that was causing the comcast mail problem. Disabled the check and all the comcast problems in their mail went away. I guess they want you to see their ads even if you never click on them.
    Anyways, thanks for your help in this matter and I will give you an update later, Don

    Thanks for the info. I noticed you also installed Alcohol. There have been a number of reports of issues with the sptd.sys driver associated with it ....... causing very poor system performance among those issues. You might want to investigate that as well.

    You might also try disabling some startups and services to see if they have any effect, specifically the following non-essential startups and services.

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [StartCCC] "C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\CLIStart.exe "
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Adobe Reader Speed Launcher] "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe "

    Let me know if you need instructions for disabling those.

    Slow Computer/Spyware?

    I performed the recommendations from noahdfear with the exception of the ad-aware one with excellant results. Ad-aware can't be disabled or it won't work. The biggest problem was sptd.sys from alcohol 120. It wasn't allowing me to defrag my system files which were sitting there at about forty percent fragmented. My intenet connection was also degraded. I un-installed alcohol and it still left the file which I had to manually delete. A quick defrag of the system files and everything is working great again. I borrowed the alcohol so who knows if it was a legal copy. It is dangerous to borrow software I guess. Thanks everyone, Don

    Thanks for the follow up Don! I was aware that Ad-aware will not work without the service running, but included it as one to check due to seeing issues with it in the past.

    Not knowing what version of spdt you had, you might want to do a bit of digging if you intend to re-install Alcohol. It's my understanding that spdt has been updated to address the issues.

    Glad all is working properly again! :)
