Hi, I'm running XP SP2 with IE7 ( version 7.0.5730.11IC). Sorry to be wordy, hate to leave anything out. We have been experiencing very slow start up times for quite a while and I usually don't use this computer so I was ignoring it. I got around to checking stuff out and downloaded WinPatrol and disabled 22 startup programs reducing the startup time from over 9 minutes to about 3. Thats great and all but I Googled a few entries that I didn't recognize and they looked malicious to me. So as to not mask anything I will re enable all startups prior to any HJT's unless told other wise. Start up time is not the only issue, also slow browsing, popups, slow maneuvering around most programs and very glitchey mouse most of which is alot better with only 4 start up items. WinPatrol also shows a ton of BHO's and after asking all toolbars can be done away with. Here is the HJT, Thank you.
