Help me please! I am fixing a friends computer and have never experienced this issue before. The computer in question was chock full o' virii, so after attempting to clean and fix, I said the heck with it and reinstalled xp, upgrading to sp3. Now that it is all fresh and clean, it is running way slower than it should be. I have very few programs installed on this machine beyond sp3:
Ccleaner
REvo Uninstaller
Spyware Terminator
Comodo
Auslogics Defragger
Firefox (reallly slow)
IE7 - yuck, but it runs better than firefox?
and now ERUNT & Hijackthis

Having run Hijackthis - this is the log it provided. Any ideas?
Thanks!!
