Computer acting CRAZY...Infected?

My computer has been acting crazy for the past 2 weeks. I run Avira Antivirus and no infected files showed up. I ran AdAware and Super Anti-Spyware and Malwarebytes and they also said that there were no infected files. All of the above programs are up to date on definitions. My desktop items get changed around and I have to reboot several times a day because it freezes up on me. I have dial up and when I tried to download Avast Antivirus it takes 6 hours and I get disconnected before the download completes. I had Avast a couple of years ago but it said that most of the files on my computer were protected and were unable to be scanned so I got rid of it and got Avira instead. Tried AVG but it really messed up my computer until I got rid of it. I am unable to do a System Restore at ANY point. I checked and everything seems to be working properly with Restore except I always get the same message that my computer cannot be restored to an earlier point.

Here is my Hijack This file. PLEASE, PLEASE help me. I ask that you make it simple. I'm not very good with computers but willing to learn.
