Welcome to the forum, no malware or a virus that I can see. What I do see is a couple of programs that will tend to slow you down. You have to think about when your computer slowed down, was it after the install of these.

Spysweeper <– Excellent program but will clog your system down a bit.

NetZero <– Another program with lots of bloat.



Download and Install CCleaner
If you don't want the Yahoo Toolbar, be sure to uncheck it during installation
  • Click on Run Cleaner
Tutorial for CCleaner

Do not run the issues scan as this removes entries from your registry and unless you know what your doing, leave it alone.




It's Not Always MalwareSpeedup Windows Windows Tips
You can post in our other forum for Other Computer Problems and they may be able to help you remove unwanted programs that may be clogging you up, this forum is for the removal of malware only and your log looks fine :thumbup:
