For safety reasons, I suggest that you use another computer to access your bank accounts.
As for a slow computer, there's a number of items that I can disable for you to see if it helps improve your computer's performance.
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TPFNF7] C:\Program Files\Lenovo\NPDIRECT\TPFNF7SP.exe /rDo you use IBM's Presentation Director? A description is here -

However, if you are always on the go, and need to find out how much battery power is left, leaving this alone would be the best.

Please let me know which programs you would like to disable at startup.
