Thanks again for the replys.
I went through my add/remove programs and removed a few programs which were junk, one of which screwed up the start up and I got an error but the reboot after that cleared it up.
Thanks for the PrcView tip there were quite a few processes running but nothing that seemed out of the ordinary. Here is the list anyway:

It's still running slow though! And I have no idea what is wrong. The strange toolbar option is still there but one thing that has stopped is the random start up page. It stays to what I set it now
Thanks again for the help.
More suggestions are welcome!
