I didn't reference the Black Viper site for you to go download anything! It's for you to review how to set the Services you have. You should be looking at the chart he has set up for the description of each Service, how it needs to be set and what other Service it needs to run.
Please understand: I am trying to help you stop processes that don't need to run, not add extra processes. You are just skimming over the information instead of going step by step.
My job here is to help with malware- but that isn't your issue. Your issue is plain and simple that you have processes starting on boot, then running in the background that you don't need and it's slowing you down.
==============================================
You did not follow my directions:
Remove the HijackThis you have now. Set up the Directory as instructed, then download and run HJT. Leave the logs and the numbers from above.
First, set up a Directory for HijackThis as follows:
Right click Taskbar> Explore> My Computer> Local Drive (C)> File> New> Folder> Name folder HijackThis
Exit Explorer
You now have a folder C:\HijackThis
Your folder: C:\Users\Lauren Carrion\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe

Please reopen HijackThis to
'do system scan only.' Check each of the following, if found:

Close all Windows except HijackThis and click on
"Fix Checked"
Note: If you don't find any of the above when you run HJT again it's okay- it's means they have been removed already.
