Slow computer again

I am technically challenged, but I do know I have 62 processes running.
How do I know what I need & what can be closed.

I run Norton system works anti virus nightly. Update every 2 days. Run Spysweeper 3 times a wk.

Don't do gaming, just general computing.

XP home
Pentium 4
1.69 Gb
256 Mb Ram

 

WOW 62

well the 1st thing u need to do is restart the computer
then go to
www.supportcave.com
run cwshredder and x-cleaner
remove any itmes listed

then go back to www.supportcave.com
and download hijackthis save to my docs or a download folder
then run it
click scan, click save log, save to the same folder.
a text file will open copy and paste the info here
and will help ya

 

You could also go through the processes and search here to see if they are spyware/adware etc.

Here ya go, Jason. Thanks !

The files all read backup-200404421-xxxxxx-xxx. Numbers replace x"s.

What do I need to restore ?

to restore any items open hijackthis and click config (bottom right corner)
select the item and choose restor
then restore 2 at a time then reboot,
do this till its fixed, then figure out which program is was an leave it running
again remove the rest
