Things not responding, computer suddenly slow

I've had a lot of spyware/adware issues lately, but I think I have them more or less taken care of now.  About a week ago my Windows Media Player wouldn't open, so I redownloaded it and now it works fine.  Ever since then, however, my computer has been unusually slow, sometimes taking 10-20 seconds to even respond when I click on something.  Certain things freeze up randomly, many times Microsoft Word, and I get a "Word is not responding" error message.  A few other things give me that message, too.  I found a page with all sorts of tune-ups that I tried, but nothing helped.  I defragged recently, I run Ad-Aware and Spyboy S&D often, system restore won't work, and my hard drive isn't even half-full.  Something has to be wrong because it wasn't this slow until very recently.  I need helppppp

    Since you have had a lot of spyware problems I suspect there are some left that Spybot etc, could not find.

    I think you need to run HijackThis.

    Make a special folder to download it to. Get it to "Scan" and then to create its "log", This will probably be long, but copy all of it into Notepad and post it back to be checked.
