I don't see much wrong, maybe a little cleanup will help
Suggestion:
Go to this link
http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds.aspx
Download and Install the Slim edition of CCleaner
When installing, uncheck most options when prompted
EXCEPT for "Create a Desktop shortcut"

Open CCleaner from the icon on the Desktop or from START>>All Programs>>CCleaner folder
Leave all defaults selected, in addition put a tick in Old Prefetch data under Advanced
Then click the Run Cleaner button on the bottom right
OK the prompt that you get
Let this finish then Exit CCleaner

Download and Install Spybot 1.4 from
HERE

After installation--Click the UPDATE button on the left
SEARCH FOR UPDATES on the right
Check, and then download all updates, you can check all downloads manually or Right click in the screen and
"Select All"
Ensure all updates are successful, a GREEN check will indicate this
If you have an error updating, search for updates again and retry the download until all updates are successfully installed
After update is complete

Click the "Search & Destroy" button on the left
"Check for Problems"---When the Scan is complete
FIX all selected promblems in RED

RESTART the computer to finish any cleaning process

Back in Windows
Defragment the computer if you have not done this in some time
Disable AV and security software and screensavers
Go to START>>>All Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>Disk Defragmenter
Run the tool, when done reboot the computer again

Let me know how things are running please
Also post another fresh hijackthis log
