Hi everyone..this is my first posting. I don't really know if I have a problem or not but my PC seems to be acting a little odd lately, slow to opening some programs..it may just be my imagination but I thought I should have it checked out. I use AVG anti-virus and Counter Spy which are updated regularly and run scans on a daily basis. Anyway here's my Hijack This log..hope I've done everything right..thanks in advance..

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I'm not seeing anything bad in your log. I suggest you read this:

I suggest you run ATF Cleaner.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner»

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.


(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time.

Then check the link below:

Help! My computer is slow!
