Having too many things running could be slowing it down. Here are a few things that you may not need running all the time, or at least not on startup:
Roxio, Quick Time, Palm, Messenger

Check this site for information on settings:
http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm

Whenever you scan with HJT, make sure all browser windows are closed first. Scan with HJT and have it fix the following entries:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cus.../search/ie.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cus...//www.yahoo.com
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cus...//www.yahoo.com

That's all I see, maybe one of the pro's will spot something else.

Thanks. But, how to I prevent Roxio, Quick Time, Palm, Messenger from starting when I initialize my computer?
As for HJT, if I fix the options you recommended, will I lose my Yahoo! Toolbar ? Because I use it a lot when on the web.
Thanks again, and waiting for a reply...

You shouldn't lose your yahoo toolbar by deleting what dlh recommended. When my computer was messing up, I had to remove some entries similar to what he told you to fix, and my yahoo toolbar was still there afterwards.

Thanks for your reply. How do I remove Roxio, Quick Time, Palm, and Messenger from my Startup? I use Windows XP OS.

Go to your Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. In the list on the left side, find the name of the service you want to change; go over to the Startup Type column and change it from automatic to manual. Use the Blackviper website I gave earlier as a guide to settings. You should only change one or two at a time and run your system for a couple of days to make sure you haven't changed something you want.

After you have HJT fix the noted entries, please post a new log.

Fixing the following with hijackthis should prevent them from running automatically;

O4 - Startup: Gerenciador do HotSync.lnk = C:\Arquivos de programas\Palm\HOTSYNC.EXE
O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Gamma Loader.lnk = C:\Arquivos de programas\Arquivos comuns\Adobe\Calibration\Adobe Gamma Loader.exe
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Arquivos de programas\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE

You can also go to Start\Run and type Msconfig then hit okay then go to startup files and disable what you do not want to start at start-up.

How is your computer running now? Your log looks okay to me, but maybe crunchie or someone else will spot something.

HI, my computer is running smooth. Startup is still a little slow though, but I got rid of things like HotSync (Palm) and Roxio running on startup. But now there is always the Windows update icon in the tray by the clock, only it´s not uploading any updates??
Shouldn´t it not be there ??
