1252274 2012-01-05 06:37:00 Over the last couple of days or so the start up of windows 7 (64bit) on my machine has been really slow (like 3 - 7 minutes). This has only gotten worse (or I have only noticed it over the last few days). Did a system restore to New Years Day but to no avail.

Have run malaware bytes and removed any issues detected (only 5).

Any suggestions ?

1252277 2012-01-05 07:04:00 Haven't looked at your HJT log but I would check your HDDs SMART status with Speedfan or similar, my friend had major system slowdowns and it turned out he had hundreds of faulty sectors in his hard drive.

Replacing the drive solved the problems.

Uninstall Askbar

Try another SATA port

1252280 2012-01-05 07:10:00 Theres a couple of nasties showing in that log. But shouldn't slow things down by that long.

Download Portable-Revo-Uninstaller (www.softpedia.com) - Run it in advanced mode, select Ask Bar to remove _ make sure you wipe out all the reg files and directories. Simply uninstalling it wont remove it.

Did you install Splashtop Connect VisualBookmark yourself ?

From my sig below, get Super antispyware as well as spybot S&D, run them both in full scan modes. Malwarebytes can miss a lot of infections that others will pick up.

To check out if anything is hanging on startup, click start, type in Reli Click on view Reliability History - once it opens there will be a detailed log with errors etc, if anything is a common error what is it ?

Re your response about agents suggestion on the hard Drive -- He's correct, HDD's can fail at any time, could be 1 day old or 5 years old or longer /anywhere in between.

Already done that.

Some drives can fail that quickly, you just have to get (un)lucky (quickest HDD failure I saw was about 1 month!)
Hopefully it's just some crapware causing it instead though, but I would check it out just in case.
