Hi robbob and welcome to WhatTheTech

I can't see any indication of malware infection in your log, is slow loading the only symptom you are experiencing? Do you have any other reason to suspect infection?

You have Viewpoint Media Player installed on your system. This program is not malware but it is foistware in that it is usually installed without the user's knowledge or approval, and for this reason I recommend you remove it. If you actually use this program, I recommend you try using safe and free alternatives such as VLC Media Player.
To remove, open Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs find Viewpoint Media Player and select Remove

You have LimeWire, a P2P file sharing program installed on your computer. This program does not come bundled with malware as some similar programs do, but peer-to-peer file sharing networks are one of the biggest sources of malware we see. Anything downloaded from them cannot be trusted to be clean, because even if the file appears to be what it claims to be, it can have malware embedded in it.
I recommend you remove it, but of course the choice is yours.
You can remove Limewire via Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs

Open the ESET Online Scanner in Internet Explorer
  • Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use. and click Start
  • Allow the ActiveX control to be installed by Internet Explorer
  • Once the ActiveX has finished loading click Start to initialize and update the scanner
  • When the Computer scan screen appears, leave Remove found threats UN-checked, but check the box next to Scan unwanted applications. Then click Scan to begin the scan.
  • Once complete and the summary page appears, press Start->Run, copy/paste the following command into the box and press OK:

    notepad "C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt"

  • The log file should now appear in Notepad, copy and paste the contents in your next response.

Please download and install the latest version of HijackThis from here:
http://downloads.malwareremoval.com/HJTInstall.exe

Once you have downloaded the new version, you should delete the old version if you still have it.
Then run the new version's installer HJTInstall.exe and follow the prompts.
After installing, HijackThis will open automatically
Select Do a system scan and save a logfile

Once complete, please post the ESET scan log and the new HijackThis log.
