Lately, my computer has been freezing/crashing a lot more.  Its not that bad like if I would have to restart my computer manually, its just little problems like.. explorer freezing and my taskbar goes away, then comes back after 5 seconds or so, and slower loading of games.  I just got done defragging (perfectdisk), running my registry apps (registry first aid, regcleaner, ntregopt), my spyware programs (ad-aware, spybot searc&destroy, spyware blaster), cleanup utils (windows washer), and microsoft bootvis.  I also cleaned out my prefetch folder.  Now the problem is not occuring that often.  So far it has only happened once the past.. 10 days i beleive.  So just to be safe, would you mind checking my hijacklog?  Sorry to be a bother...

HJT is way outdated, delete it and always use most recent.

Log looks clean but if you no longer have DAP installed you can remove the two above.

No Anti Virus ?

No problem..and the log still looks clean.

Have to say though.... your standard practice with AVG (not running and then scanning weekly)   is akin to closing the barn door after the horse is gone.
