my system is running real slow. can u guys take a loot and help me out

A short, practical checklist tailored to the two problems on this page (slow system and a locked homepage). was right to flag duplicate real‑time protection and leftover one‑time startup tasks; follow the ordered steps below before removing anything permanently.

  1. Make a safe backup first: create a System Restore point and export the registry keys you plan to change. Mistakes to startup/services can leave Windows unbootable, so always export and keep the restore point.

  2. Reduce startup/service bloat (major cause of slowness). Use Autoruns (full startup/service view) to identify nonessential entries, export the current configuration, then disable (uncheck) items rather than deleting on first pass. Autoruns also shows drivers and scheduled tasks so nothing important is missed. Autoruns

  3. Remove extra real‑time protection correctly. If more than one product runs resident protection, uninstall the extras using their official uninstall tools (vendor removal tools remove leftover drivers/services). Reboot and confirm only a single real‑time product remains.

  4. Clean persistent browser hijacks and hosts edits. Boot to Safe Mode (networking), run a full scan with a reputable anti‑malware scanner and a second on‑demand tool to catch adware/hijackers. Malwarebytes plus Microsoft’s Safety Scanner are good choices. If the homepage is still forced, reset the browser and restore the hosts file to default using a documented procedure. Microsoft Safety Scanner

  5. Post‑work verification and caution: after changes, reboot, recheck Task Manager/Performance, and run another full scan. Avoid using HijackThis to remove entries unless their purpose is known; prefer to disable first and research each item.

can anybody help me out did i post in the right spot?

Yep, you did, sometimes we're just way too slack here. I put it down to there being other, more fun or demanding things to do...
You have one too many resident AV services, uninstall one and restart. They spend a lot of your CPU time checking each other out....
Use hijackthis to fix these three log entries [the first two have done their job by now, which was a simple cleanup task and something to do with mediaplayer...][don't fix the last one if you REALLY do wish to run system restore at every startup]:
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [wextract_cleanup0] rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpack.dll,DelNodeRunDLL32 "C:\DOCUME~1\GOBLIN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\"
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [WMC_0] C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c """""C:\WINDOWS\inf\unregmp2.exe"" /ShowWMP"""
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [*Restore] C:\WINDOWS\system32\restore\rstrui.exe -i

There! How are things now?

Actually, fix all three incl the restore one.
Did you do a reinstallation recently?

My homepage is locked on a serials website and would be very grateful for any assistance you may be able to give. Thanks

Good day, buoy, would rather you had posted into a fresh thread, your post has nothing to do with the previous user's problem.
Anyway, use hijackthis to fix these entries and see how you get on:
