Hi John -

Kaspersky log says it took less than 4 hours,
not sure why the difference in what it reports. Either seems like a long time for an 80GB drive.

What's F drive? Your USB drive?

There are some stray adware items left behind, but no serious risks that I can see, and nothing obvious to explain a slow system.

You may want to prevent AVG Anti-Spyware from running at Windows startup, and just call it into service when needed. This may help with system boot times. To do so, right click on the AVG A/S system tray icon, and uncheck Start with Windows. Also disable it's real time protection, as this will also use system resources, and will time out at the end of the trial period in 30 days. To do so:

Open AVG Anti-Spyware.

• On the main screen under Your Computer's security.
  • Click on Change state next to Resident shield. It should now change to inactive.
  • Click on Change state next to Automatic updates. It should now change to inactive.

Hope that helps the boot time.

Next, let's use this tool as a diagnostic:

1. Download combofix.exe to your desktop.
2. Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply with a new HJT log

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall
