My computer is very slow now days, despite many programs removed and running registry, cookie cleanup software and scans from McAfee, AGV and Spybot. With very few programs up, the hard drive will be spinning away, and big swings in processes using CPU in task manager. Have heard I might have malware.

Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here is my Hijackthis log:
