seagate dashboard, need it? if not uninstall or disable from startup
Go into the connection settings of all your browsers, and remove the proxy entry (IE Tools, internet options, connections/firefox tools, advanced, network, settings etc), the entry below is usually a sign or remnants of an infection causing browser redirection. Note proxy settings for browsers other than IE don't show up in hijackthis logs, so check them manually
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1
This is a list of (or remnants of) security software you have already - uninstall them (after installing Avast) in Control Panel (add/remove programs or programs/features) to keep your PC running smoothly, too much overlapping or bloated security or useless tuning software can have a drastic effect on performance - always leave one resident scanner running (eg avast/avira etc)

mse's editing bug is causing mayhem, adding and removing things from my post on it's own
Could you do a search and replace on your hijackthis log in notepad, and replace all the m32 's with m33
you should then be able to post the log properly on mse!!

Have tried to fix all the things you've said. Am going to be a bit stuck now as going home tomorrow - think I've done what I can and the comp is still slow to boot - father in law probably won't bother to try anything else, will just go out and buy new comp! So anyone in N Ireland look out for a bargain second hand comp!0

post a fresh hijackthis log and commit charge
you can still look at it remotely, avast has remote control built in
if you have the disk, a reinstall of windows will cure it.!!
