cool thanks;
nothing too bad; I spent a few hours on Monday night running malwarebytes, hijackthis, etc and cleaned up a few things as far as start up processes (could probably even do that again, I just did a quick fly-by). this log i posted was after I had done everything I thought I could do, restarted etc.

up until then, my computer was just slow, starting up slow; locking up etc. and I primarily only use it for email/web etc so not a lot of extra stuff/software downloaded to it.

I think it was running like that because it's about 5 years old, and I hadn't done any sort cleanup etc...
we'll see how it goes...
