Super-bloaty laptop running very slowly - help, please!

Trying_to_be_good

Yep, wireless router at home, but sometimes have to use the BT mobile USB stick when I'm away from home. Not often, but sometimes.

Trying_to_be_good

Uninstalled the Live messenger and toolbar through windows live - it didn't seem to give me the option before.

Latest log, and I suspect last for this evening:
