You have more that one AntiVirus product on this system, and that can cause conflicts and slowness. There are parts of Symantec, AVG is there, as is McAfee. I'd recommend you choose one (AVG is the one I would keep) and uninstall the others right away.
It looks as though you've had a recent battle with vundo. It appears to be only a stray registry entry at this time, but we'll know more when we poke it with a stick.
You have several legit toolbars installed...and many startup items...all these compete for system resources and can cause slowdowns in boot time.
Next, please do this:
Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order it is mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes. You should 'not' have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.
Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following and hit 'Fix checked' (after checking them) if they still exist (make sure not to miss any):
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cust...search/ie.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cust.../www.yahoo.com

Run a new HijackThis scan. Save the log file and post it here.
Download
Trend Micro™ Anti-Spyware (by clicking the "Scan and Clean your PC" button).
- Choose Save, NOT run, and save to your desktop
- Double-click the tmas-web-scan.exe icon
- It will say "Loading TrendMicro definitions".
- Click "Start Scan"
After it's done scanning, click "
Scan Results"
- Make sure all items found have a check next to them, then click "Clean Threats Now".
- Click Exit.
Reboot your computer. I then need you to
repeat the same procedure above again... using the TrendMicro tool. I need the log from the second scan/clean...NOT the first...as this will contain what’s left in the system.
In place of the TrendMicro icon will be a text file called "
Antispyware.log", please double-click that log and
copy the entire contents and paste them here.
