I was able to clear up the Logitech issue and so far the cursor is behaving.

Since I have a dual hard drive system and my C drive is getting pretty full, I've started saving programs to the D drive. I only have one copy of WindowsXP installed on my computer.

Since it slows again after a few hours then what you have to look at is what is running? How much RAM is installed? You said your "C" drive is getting full...how full?

One thing that will slow the computer is that AVG anti-virus program, it is just loaded with "stuff". I would recommend you choose another anti-virus program. Avira and Avast are both FREE, excellent and don't come with as much extra running files.
I, myself, prefer Avira and have used it several years but the choice is yours.
Do a new scan and post the log.

I'm getting conflicting opinions about Registry Cleaners. Can they damage my files?
Are there any free ones available?

My "C" drive is 95% full. I think I have 1 gig of RAM. Does that sound right? Where do I look to be sure?

I did get rid of AVG as you suggested and downloaded Avast.

I'll post a new scan shortly.

FYI, still having the cursor issue occasionally. If I'm running Outlook, a browser with 2+ windows open, and Powerpoint, then Powerpoint creeps along. It didn't used to.

Absolutely leave the Registry Cleaners alone. Learned this years ago from a fellow I learned much of what I know today and have followed his opinion on this which is the following:
Now having your "C" 95% full will absolutely slow the computer, I am surprised it is actually running! You need to go through there and get some of that off of there. What all is it? Go through and decide what is needed and what is not. Burn pictures and music to disks and get it off entirely. Remove programs you never use. Clean Temp files and the like.
To find out how much RAM is on there Right Click My Computer and choose Properties. The first page that opens will give you that information right below where you see Computer:
1GB is an ok amount but more would be better. But key right now is cleaning out that "C" drive.

It is 1GB of RAM. I've tried to go through get rid of programs I don't use as well as clean temp files and such. I've also been trying to utilize my "D" drive. Each drive is 95GB. I have a lot of music on my iTunes I think that is a big part of the problem. I tried moving the iTunes folder over to the "D" drive but it didn't recognize it when I did.

You know to see what IS using all that space, you might try this program DiskPie I have used it before when cleaning out computers. It tells you exactly what IS taking up all the space on there. Read that PC Computer article about it and if you decide to use it then you can download the zip file right there at the top of page one. It does give a good picture of exactly what is hogging and that physical space on the drive.

Two antivirus on the same computer (even if one is expired) do not play well together. (period!)

Go to:
http://service1.symantec.com/Support...05033108162039

and download the removal tool - Get rid of norton. Till norton has a smaller footprint, easier to manage, and plays well with wireless better, it is good just not to use it.

THEN - uninstall AVG (I will have you reinstall it after that part of your computer is clean)

THEN:
Open your RUN command, type msconfig
click on the startup tab (PAY ATTENTION - ONLY the startup tab, do not 'clean' anywhere else) UNCHECK EVERYTHING - yes, that is what I said - UNCHECK EVERYTHING. If windows needs it to operate it will "re-check" itself on reboot. - then reboot.

THEN:
After these three things are done, REINSTALL AVG or Avast (I kinda like avast better, for several various reasons I will not go into now) - Avast is also free to use. (reboot if you installed Avast - AVG you don't have to)

THEN :
Download and install C-Cleaner - update it, then USE IT !!! Keep using it till 0 bytes removed comes up, and then use its registry cleaner - keep running it till NO PROBLEMS Found comes up (i dont' have a book to tell you why, just that it works)

THEN:
Update (very important ALWAYS UPDATE FIRST) - and run Malwarebytes, if it finds things and needs to reboot - do so, then UPDATE and run malwarebytes again (till it finds nothing).

THEN:
Post if you are still having latency problems.

Hollyecho, This thread was begun 8 days ago and now you are covering a LOT of OLD ground here advising the very same steps which have all ready been fully completed:

AVG has all ready been removed and replaced by Avast as noted HJT log in post #14. All the Norton stuff you noted have all ready been taken care of as noted by the poster in post #15.

Unnecessary start ups were listed in post #17 and recommendations on how to stop these were noted AND also taken care of as demonstrated by the latest HJT log.

Malwarebytes' was all ready updated run over 1 week ago and came up clean in post #3. Finally poster DID post he is continuing to have problems in post #22 2 days ago. He also posted his hard drive is 95% FULL and he only has 1GB of RAM. I gave him my recommendations yesterday and he has yet to post back.
