    Hi

    Your slowdown problems most likely are caused by multiple antivirus programs that you have running there. It's strongly advised to run only one antivirus program in one system. Decide which one you want to use and uninstall other ones.

    Start hjt, do a system scan, check (if found):

    Close browsers and fix checked.

    Reboot and post a fresh hjt log. How's performance now?

    Hi

    If your McAfee has antivirus features among Antispyware then I'd uninstall it. Antivir I'd let stay.

    Also, defragging hard drive(s) is good idea if you haven't done so lately.

    yep, the cpu is still spiking up to 80-100% at times and slowing down music/video playback.

    Hi

    If you check thru task manager CPU rates which processes have the highest ones (system idle excluded)?

    none are very high most of the time: taskmgr.exe and teatimer.exe range from 1-6. firefox spikes to 60+ at times, so i think it's causing my problems somehow.
