Download and run Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4181
Once you download it, click on it and let it install and then run it from the icon on your desktop and then click on 'Computer' then on 'Summary', then go to the VERY top of the screen and click on 'report', then 'quick report-summary' and then 'plain text' and save it then go to C:/programs/lavalys and open that folder then open Everest Home sub-folder and then reports sub-folder and click on the report which will open it in a text editor and then use your mouse to highlight ALL the debug stuff at the bottom of the report and delete it and then save that file again and then copy and paste it to here.

Click on the fix checked button.
Close HJT.
Other than the above unnecessary stuff, your HJT log looks fine.
I notice you`ve got a hell of a lot of stuff running and this could well be why your system is slow.
Uninstall anything you don`t want or use from add remove programmes in your control panel.
Click start/run and type msconfig into the run box and press the enter key. Click the startup tab and untick anything you don`t want to start with Windows. Click apply/ok and restart your computer. Tick the box that says not to run msconfig the next time your start your computer and click ok.
Go and read this thread HERE, it`ll show you how you can speed up your system.

To alter your time to the 12 hour setting, do the following.
Click start/control panel/regional and language options/customize/time/time format and set your clock to hh:mm:ss tt click apply/ok and close the control panel.
As for your system still being slow, open your task manager, by holding down the ctrl and alt keys and pressing the delete key. Click on the processes tab and look for any processes that are taking a lot of cpu cycles, then let me know which process it is(if any)
Maybe you could post a pic of your task managers running processes?

To take a pic do the following.
Open your task manager and click on the processes tab. Maximise the Window and press the print screen key on your key board(usually abbreviated as prt scrn).
Click start/all programmes/accessories/paint, click the edit menu and choose paste. You will now have a picture of your task manager in the paint programme. Click the file menu and choose save as. Under save as file type choose JPEG and click the save button.
You can then either attach the pic to your post or you can use online picture hosting such as PhotoBucket and copy and paste the IMG location of your pic into your post.

Your task manager pic shows your cpu isn`t being used at all. The only thing is, you`re running 38 processes, which in my opinion is too many.
You need to get rid of some of your startup items in msconfig.
Post a fresh HJT log and I`ll see what we can get rid of.

ok Howard it's booting faster but, it takes za 2-3 mins. to start. is that normal or is there a problem with za's start up process?

It`s possible ZA has a problem. Download one of the free firewall programmes below.
Kerio or Comodo.
Now disconnect from the internet and uninstall ZA.
Once ZA is completely uninstalled, reboot your system. Install whichever of the above firewall programmes you chose and reboot your system again. Reconnect to the net and see if there`s any improvement.

Download the Autoruns programme from HERE. When the programme runs, click options and make sure the "Hide Microsoft Entries" is ticked. Click the file menu and select refresh. Click the save icon and save the Autoruns log to wherever you want.
Attach the Autoruns log here, as well as a fresh HJT log.

Well, you`re going to have to access the net in order to download the Autoruns programme, so yes, allow IE to access the net.
