W7 - backup and factory restore will cure it, but try
switch to avast free instead of avg and mse (2 antiviruses running is never a good idea)
uninstall unless you need them realplayer downloader, google toolbar/update, tomtom, quickshare
disable nmindexing/flashplayer and adobe update services with services.msc. if you don't use lightscribe discs, you can also disable the lightscribe service.
scan with malwarebytes
disable these from startup using msconfig

Thanks for prompt reply. I've just downloaded avast in process of removing AVG. What is the other antivirus? MSE what would it be called in programs so I can remove? thank you0

Microsoft Security Essentials?
Sorry I should know better. Couldn't see it.

microsoft security essentials.
Untick chrome/google options when installing avast!!

Re post 2. I can't find "uninstall unless you need them realplayer downloader, google toolbar/update, tomtom, quickshare"
do i tick these items in the hijack this log or how do I remove them. sorry for being thick.0 -
they should appear, and be uninstalled using control panel, programs and features
if not, the toolbars can be disabled in ie, tools, manage addons, you could also use the browser cleanup function in avast (tools menu)
The biggest gains should come from removing the 2 av's.!!

use msconfig, startup tab or ccleaner tools, startup
still various services and bho's (mentioned in post 2) running
any change in speed yet?!!
> . !!!! ----> .0 -
Sorry to be a dement. I've carried out your instructions. can't see the bho's in the msconfig or control panel programs but do see it here in the log. Can i just tick them on the hijack this log and get rid that way?
definitely quicker when using but still slow when firing up.

bho's are browser helper objects, found and disabled in internet explorer, tools, manage addons - unlikely to be related to slow boot, if disabling the suggested services makes no difference, a backup and factory restore is the best solution!!
