When booting into XP Pro I no longer see User Account screen when I usually would get to select an individual account. It is now just the welcome screen and then goes to my desktop. It loads all the start applications very very slowly.
I have run adaware se spybot norton AV tried system restore going back to various restore points but each restore was unsuccessful as "computer was not changed". I am posting a log file here and not on the other forums. Please look at and let me know if this is wrong forum for this type of issue.

Theres nothing particularly worrying in your log, these two optional fixes can be made to improve performance:-

Close all browser Windows, restart Hijack This and put a checkmark next to the following ENTRIES:

O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe

Click fix checked.

Application Scheduler installed along with RealOne Player. Once installed, it runs independently of RealOne Player. To disable "tkbell.exe" in the new version (1) Start RealOne Player (2) Tools -> Preferences (3) Automatic services in the Categories pane (4) Uncheck all options and then OK

Please follow all of Owen's instructions HERE once you have completed that post your log on the Spyware, Adware and Viruses board
