I've had my laptop since June or July of 2008 and realised I've never posted a HJT log anywhere, nor even downloaded it until tonight, so here's my log. Anything I should get rid of? I'm trying to make my laptop run faster (I just did a clean-up and defrag tonight and it seems to have helped).

You can get rid of any extra toolbars in Internet Explorer and have HijackThis fix those. The other suggestion I have is to disable any startup items that you don't need.

Turn off TeaTimer from Spybot and get rid of the BitTorrent program.

What exactly is TeaTimer, anyway? And yeah, I forgot I had BitTorrent 'cause I never use it, so I'll chuck that.

TeaTimer is a portion of Spybot S & D that runs all the time and watches for changes in the registry, which may be ok in some instances but it can also interfere with fixes needed to be completed by your anti-virus program or some other malware removal program, because it won't allow those fixes to take place. It really is more trouble than it is worth as far as I am concerned.
UNINSTALL that BitTorrent program via Add/Remove don't just delete it.

* Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode
* If it is not already set to do this, go to the Mode menu
select
Advanced Mode
* On the left hand side, click on Tools
* Then click on the Resident icon in the list
* Uncheck
Resident TeaTimer
and OK any prompts.
* Restart your computer
