Hi,

My hard drive is slow to access (can be 60s).

Before I buy a new drive would you take a look at this HijackThis log and see if you can spot any malware.

Thanks,

JGC

The log looks ok ,but instead of buying a new drive why not just format it and reload windows .

Thanks for checking it out.

Your time is much appreciated.
