I'm really sorry, tashi for the topic bump and the outdated HJT log. I didn't mean to take up your time or the time of the volenteers. I was still wondering if you would help despite my infraction. My computer has gotten much worse at times (takes minutes to even load this forum page) and other periods where it is normal. I am worried someone might have hacked me and when they access my computer that slows down or something of that nature (not sure).

Anyway, here is my original post with the update HJT log. Thanks again!

Lately, my computer has been really (really) slow. Especially, loading pages on Internet explorer (the images take forever to come in and the videos take forever to buffer or sometimes don't load at all). Switching between programs like Word, Excel, IE, and AIM take forever. My computer also freezes and forces me to end tasks constantly. I am computer literate, but I can't really figure out what is slowing my computer up. I have run various virus scanning programs which never detect anything.

I never go to sites that the McAfee site advisor says are potential threats. However, I may have been targeted by a hacker in an IRC channel. Again, I have run Spybot and Malwarebytes which found nothing. I also scanned with McAfee (again nothing) and use its Firewall, etc. I do seem to have a lot of process running on my computer and Security Task Manager keeps finding different potential threats each time I run it. However, most of them check out as legitmate via google searches.

Any and all advice would be appreciated. I will run any other programs you guys advise. Here is the HijackThis log.
