My father in law is having some problems on startup and whilst his computer is running. The startup is really slow and the windows xp startup screen sometimes is replaced by a flashing brown to white screen. When up and running it just seems to be really slow as well

Have run ad aware and spy bot, here is my hjt log

Any help would be appreciated!!

You may have significant duplication of security processes running. It is never a good idea to duplicate running antivirus or firewall processes. You currently appear to have security tools (or remnants) running from:

Grisoft (AVG)
McAfee
Computer Associates

Please identify and disable/uninstall any process duplications. Let us know if anything has improved on that PC.
