    Tick to FIX this using HIJACK then FIX it ~
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

    Looking through the log is say the 'main' reason for it being slow is this ~
    'NTI Backup Now 5 Backup Service'
    Looks like its trying to constantly backup your files (Which will certainly slow it down)

    AVG is slow ~ Avira is FAR quicker (And safer)

    How do I stop it doing this?

    Use the 32 bit AVG removal tool too as just uninstalling leaves bits behind

    Backup ~
    Depends if you WANT it really. If your not bothered then just uninstall it. If you ARE then your going to have to go into the 'preferences' or whatever of said program and set it to only run when YOU want it to
