Slow Computer, HJT

[baron162]

Hi everyone, I've been having a problem for a few months now with my laptop computer, which has become ridiculously slow of late. it often freezes up and just takes simple things forever to load, such as clicking on "my computer." i've run defrag, disk cleanup, spyware scans, and virus scans, all to no avail. I'm not sure that it's a virus/spyware problem, but i'm posting it on here because i can put up an HJT log. I'm not totally sure what specifics you guys need to diagnose the problem, but i'll post what i can... Thanks!!

Specs:
HP Pavilion zd8000 laptop, 2.8 ghz intel pentium 4 processor, 512 MB of RAM, 80 GB hard disk space (16.7 GB free)
Microsoft XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with SP2

Here's the HJT Log:

I'd go to add/remove programs and remove Viewpoint Manager f you didn't install it. You don't need it and it was more than likely installed without your permission.
