Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance) http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288
All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

I apologize for the wait, volunteers are swamped at all forums with infected computers. If you have resolved your issues, please post to let me know so I can close this topic.

Keep in mind hackers hide much of their malware from HJT anymore, having said that this is the only thing I see.

C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Common\ViewpointService.exe
For your information, Viewpoint is installed by aol probably without your knowledge. I suggest you uninstall this resource waster in Add Remove programs.

I can't comment on COMODO, many folks like it but I have never run it. Here are links to other freeware if needed:

Thanks for the links. I tend to keep my system defraged and empty temp files about once a month or so. I guess it's time to go in and do some real cleaning though.

Something i've read about COMODO is sometimes it downloads bad updates that cause it to not recognize that it is updated and it sticks it in a loop trying to update itself. There isn't evidence of this that i can see on my computer, but I'm going to reinstall it anyway.

If they are hiding malware from HJT, is there another way I can find out if i might be infected?

Thanks again.

Another question. In the msconfig under startup there are two spots that are blank. Is there any way I can find out what they are?

Only symptoms suggest hidden malware, and it takes scans to find out. Your symtoms suggest something other than malware, but it is a possibility and we will start with an MBAM scan.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your Desktop
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

http://www.besttechie.net/mbam/mbam-setup.exe <<< download

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform FULL SCAN, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt
* Please post contents of that file & a new HJT log in your next reply.

Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

Tutorial if needed:

MBAM is clean as you know and I see no issues with the uninstall list. I caution you I do not know all of your programs. If you want a freeware program to keep an eye on program updates, look at this one:
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/
While PSI run in the System Tray for instant notifications, I prefer to turn it off and run it once a month or so from All Programs.

Let's have a look at an AVG scan:

*Right click the icon for AVG in System Tray and choose Open AVG User Interface.

*Click on Update now, allow AVG to download and install any new updates.

* Click on Computer Scanner then choose "Scan whole computer", this takes a round one hour on the computer I am using now.

* Near the bottom above the words "The scan is complete" choose "Export overview to file"

* Choose Desktop and give it a name you will recognize like AVG Scan Results, then choose SAVE.

* Close results and close the Interface.

* Copy and paste the contents of that file (unless it is clean, then just let me know)

Thanks

no infections found.

another question. Is it typical for a system to take 5+ minutes to shutdown?..It takes about 5 minutes after i choose shutdown from the start bar for the shutdown options to come up..and another 5 minutes for the 'windows is shutting down' screen.

It wasn't that slow when i first got this system, but that was about a year ago and i know that the number of processes you have running can affect that, but it seems a little excessive.

Thanks again for your help, it is running a better after getting rid of some of the startup items in msconfig and reinstalling COMODO. I'm gonna do the same with AVG. But it's still slower than i think a dual 6400+ with 2 gigs of RAM should be. It wasn't this way a couple weeks ago anyway.
