Do I have spyware

[nunya53]

Hello Guestolo,

I've done pretty good running Firefox, but I think I might have some spyware only because some of my programs are running very slow.  I think this is especially so since I have upgraded to a gig of RAM and it doesn't help.  I did install Yahoo's Widget Engine and it could be slowing my machine down, but I'm not sure.  I can get rid of the Widgets if you think it is the culprit.  Here is a Hijackthis log.  I'm not sure if there is anything there, but if you could look, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Sorry for the delay
I don't see anything malware or spyware related causing problems
Are you still having problems
Have you defragged lately?

Can you pinpoint when the slowdown started?

[nunya53]

I'm a little slow myself as I've been out of town.  I noticed some programs were starting to slow down about a month ago when opened, such as Outlook.  Also, my laptop was overheating, so I disassembled it via a guide I found here and cleaned it.  Also added another 512 mb of ram, but it didn't seem to help much.

I don't see much wrong
But just to be sure, can I see a fresh Hijackthis log
If it looks clean, we'll try some troubleshooting steps to see if it helps
