My Vista Basic Laptop was doing great but now I've had it a year or so it's running really slow. The worst is when I am on sites like youtube where the internet pages seem to freeze all the time for long periods and I am unable to view anything or even move away from the page. Often this eventually involves a plugin crash.
Generally though the internet runs really slow and it's driving me mad. I have had a couple of viruses on here over the year but have managed to seemingly get rid of them.
I have scanned with all sorts of programmes such as Spybot Search and Destory, Trendmicro, Avast Virus Scan, Webroot Spyware Removal, Microsoft Security Essentials, Advanced System Care 3 in both Safe Mode and normal mode with System Restore off. None have deteced anything at all. I have also used Registry Fix/Scan programmes but I'm still having problems. I have also removed any programmes that I don't really use.
I did notice more of a change with slowing down after installing Webroot Anti Spyware but have since taken it off. When I complained about the sudden change they said at the time it was a problem with my registry and that I should take it to a computer guy to fix, to be honest it seems a stock answer when they basically can't help!
Anyway can anyone figure out anything I can do, it runs perfectly well in Safe Mode so I'm guessing it's a programme of some sort that's loading. I have posted a Hijackthis scan below. It's taken me nearly an hour just to able to get on to here!:
