lately it just feels like playing games or sending files is really slowed down.

Brief expert summary and next steps based on 's HijackThis output and 's suggestion to update and scan: the performance problems described are commonly caused by excessive startup items, unknown Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) and resident adware/malware that run in the background. The HijackThis scan is useful for identification, but removal should be deliberate — deleting the wrong item can break Internet Explorer or system functionality.

Recommended prioritized actions (safe order):

  1. Make a full backup of personal data and create a System Restore point before changing anything.
  2. Update the OS and security software signatures, then run a full offline/boot-time scan with a modern anti-malware scanner. Consider an on-demand scan from a reputable vendor if the installed AV shows no infections (examples: see Malwarebytes).
  3. Use startup/service inspection tools to triage items before removal: Autoruns for startup and BHO discovery and Process Explorer (plus TCPView) to spot CPU, handle, or suspicious network activity. Disable unknown entries in Autoruns rather than deleting them immediately.
  4. Any suspicious standalone DLLs or executables should be uploaded to a multi-engine scanner (VirusTotal) before removal. If a file is flagged by multiple engines, disable the startup reference, then remove the file from Safe Mode and repeat scans.

Important cautions and follow-ups: HijackThis flags many entries that can be legitimate; avoid using its automatic “fix” commands without verification. Document any change (take screenshots or save a copy of the original log), disable first (Autoruns), then remove after confirming with AV/VT. If rootkit behavior or persistent network callbacks are found, consider an offline rescue disk or professional remediation; a clean OS reinstall is often faster and more reliable if multiple core files are infected.

Relevant tools: Autoruns (Microsoft Sysinternals), Process Explorer (Microsoft Sysinternals), Malwarebytes (https://www.malwarebytes.com/), VirusTotal (https://www.virustotal.com/).

Ok I am starting to spam the fourm with the same information. Read the other fourms on how they fixed there problems read below for a hopeful fix.
