So far, I have run the Trend Micro internet security pro s/w, super anti-spyware, CCleaner, and Ad-ware. none seem to be finding a root cause. So I did see from Trend about the HJT. There does seem to be a lot of processes running (70-79) when I look via the Windows Tack Mgr. Not sure which are valid an dwhich I should try to remove (and how to remove them). Here is the log I copied (as shown in the read me first thread). Any help and recommendations is welcomed and appreciated. I am just a novice at best, IMO, as far as computer interworkings go. I feel much better on the apps side. :D: Thanks in advance.

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.

Pinned (sticky) to the top of this forum, and posted above are the directions, make sure you have read and followed them.

Some information for you:

1) If you read the directions in "Before you Post" You will see that you were supposed to post a HijackThis log, not a StartupList.

2) Having said that, I can see you have a load of running processes, start with this information:
What to do if your Computer's running slowly

http://www.malwareremoval.com/tutorials/runningslowly.php
http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/slowcomputer.html
http://www.microsoft.com/atwork/getstarted/speed.mspx

If it helps, for an example, I will say I have four items checked and starting, three are security programs and the other is Windows Live Messenger that I use all off the time.

Here are good links to find out what programs are.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm
http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php

3) Once you have used that information, if you still have issues and have read and followed the "Before you Post" instructions, post a HijackThis log and I will take a look.

Thanks
