Problem with my ageing system

Hi all, i’ve been having this problem with my computer since ages where it’s taking ages to load up from a start, and programmes are all running slow. My computer is pentium 4, 2.4GHz, 224MB of RAM, 80gig of hard disk space. I’m not very good with computers and i’ve got no idea what is wrong with it. When i first bought it, it was running fine and smooth. I bought it from a private company where i choose the computer parts myself. Could trojon/viruses cause your computers to perform slow?


Please download HijackThis from the link below. Do not download HJT to the desktop but instead download it into it’s own folder on the hard drive.

Run the program but do not make any fixes and then post the log results using the “copy & paste” method. It will probably take more than one post to be able to get the complete log posted.

OR, you can post it as an attachment to your post by clicking on “Additional Options…” below left of the posting box. Someone will review your log and then offer help.
