Before formatting you might like to remove the many Startups, even Messenger does not need to start with Windows.

Here's an excellent tool that allows you to stop these startups (all of them, except Antivirus) You can un-tick any or all entries, then restart to see the difference. If you later prefer to have one of the Startups back again, just start the program back up and place a tick next to that entry again.

Please try it, here it is: Startup Control Panel
Also run CCleaner regularly
And you might want to Defrag once in a while too (Start->Run-> dfrg.msc )

;)
 
Okay, have done that but it still runs slow.

Do you think its worht a format then, as none of them have found it.

Also if that doesn't work, and i get a new harddrive could the virus get onto that one? because if it is a memory virus it could transfer onto that couldn't it?
 
There's nothing wrong with HJT log (except maybe too many Adobe startups)
Pretty sure we got all the Virus infections ;)
The slowness can be caused by a number of things:
Startups (ie Adobe and more)
Windows updates (this is always slow)
Hardware, including Harddrive and Ram, even CPU
Heat and internal dust
Open applications
Really the list is big
 
Okay, well i might just format my computer again anyway so i can see if it stops the slowness.

Thanks for all the help :)
 
Worth a try though, no harm in trying :)

Yeah removed all the logs. Thought i might aswell now it has been sorted.
