Hello. I watch a lot of movies and shows online. I also have my own blog. I do a lot of searching with many tabs open at once. Lately my computer has been running really slow. I am including my highjack this log. I already removed a lot of BHO's that I do not need. If you have any suggestions on what I can do to clean up/ speed up my computer I would really appreciate it. Thank you!!
The only things that you "need" running from StartUp, are:
AntiVirus
Firewall
AntiSpyware (if subscribed for real-time scanning)
Otherwise, all those 04's can be disabled (most of them from MSCONFIG - StartUp
Post back with questions if there are specific applications or processes that you need help disabling.
It appears that you do not actually have Avast running active? Is that correct.
Yes you have the updater running active, but apparently not real-time scanning?
We don't analyze HJT Logs here in the Windows Forum.
If you are concerned about infection, consider posting in our Infections Removal Forum Read Here First
I'll edit your post to zip up that HJT log into an "Attached File"
