Hi –

My computer suddenly started operating slower than normal. However, while most programs (eg, Office) work more or less OK, Internet Explorer freezes up every time I start it (takes about 5 minutes until I am able to use the window). After the 5 mins, it works OK, but if I try to open another IE window the same thing happens (that window freezes up for about 5 mins before its usable).

I ran Spybot, AVG, and Hijack this… logs below.. any ideas?

Thanks!
