Please help w/my log

My computer has been running very slowly, and I can't seem to find the reason. Could someone please check my log and tell me if it appears that I have spyware problems?
Thank you

Your log looks clean; I suggest you start by doing some housekeeping:
Shut down Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.
Go to Control Panel/Internet, and clear your temporary Internet Files.
Also clear your History.
Go to the 'Content' tab, click 'Autocomplete', and clear your forms and passwords cache.

Now go to the Advanced tab, and click Restore Defaults.
Go to the Security tab > Internet, and click restore defaults there as well.

Empty the entire contents of your Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temp folder (it probably has the hidden attribute!), and empty your recycle bin.

Have you recently defragmented your drive? If not, I suggest you do:

Start > Run > Dfrg.msc

Also, you're running an outdated and therefore unsafe version of Internet Explorer.

You NEED to upgrade to IE 6.0 SP1 (Make sure you get the correct language version for your operating system! ).

Next, go to the Windows Update site, and download and install ALL Critical Updates on offer.
That will fix innumerable bugs, update a large number of important system files, and plug many security holes.

I suggest you do all that, and tell us whether that helps.

 

I'd almost forget: it's also a very good idea to compact your registry; you can use NTRegopt for that:

Thank you so much - that worked wonders!!!!

 

Great!

Good to hear that worked for you.
