I am having a problem with my computer. It's running under P4 3.0 with 512MB memory but it's performing slow this week. I have doen disk cleanup ang degragmented the HD but still the same problem occurs. Could it be because of spyware or malware?

Here is the HJT Log. Please help me…

Close all programs leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following,
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Caffe-Server] c:\program files\Caffe\Server.exe
Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them:

c:\program files\Caffe\Server.exe
Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.

Download and install AVG Anti-Spyware (ewido). Then scan and post the report here.
Instructions and download link can be found here.

I am using the program SERVER.EXE. Its from Antamedia Internet Caffe. It's my billing program. Connected to it are the client computers. I've been using it for almost three months. It's just this week that I got a problem with the slow performance of my PC.
