HP 2000 Notebook
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Service Pack 1
AMD E-350 Processor 1.6GHz
3gigs RAM
A friend of mine recently asked me to take a look at his laptop as it was running very slow. I installed/ran avast!, malwarebytes, superantispyware and Ccleaner which significantly sped up the computer. It still feels like it's running a bit slow to me and at this point I'm out of my league. It's still seems to be slow on startup and when initially opening programs. I'd appreciate it if the community wouldn't mind taking a look to see if there are any changes that would help speed things up.
I saw this thread, http://forums.techguy.org/windows-7/...mely-slow.html , from a few days ago and followed most of the instructions (without doing any of the actual removal/changes). I've got the Adwcleaner log, msconfig startup item list and services.msc automatic/delayed lists if requested. The only program I didn't install/run was SystemLook.exe because I wasn't sure if it was necessary as it was mentioned to specifically remove NCH Software.
Please let me know how to proceed and thank you for your help.
