Question Solved: Computer Still Slow
I seem to be having huge issues with my computer today. I tried to fix the slowness of my computer by defragging it, disk clean, etc. I ended up messing it up more than I fixed it and had to delete the 2nd drive on it(which contained another Windows XP, I have 2 on my computer)- I was hoping that this would make it work more quickly but it hasn't.

I have read previous posts and know that you should download Hijack (I think) and look at it, however I'm not sure what any of that information in the log means or what to do with it.

My CPU usage is at 100%, and there is a lot of .exe files running in the background. I'm not sure what they are.

Could someone please help me?

Thanks Again
Rebecca
