Only one thing in your log that needs attention.

First please disable your Windows Defender Real-time Protection as it may interfere with the fix that we need to make.

Open Windows Defender.
Click on Tools, General Settings.
Scroll down and uncheck Turn on real-time protection (recommended).
After you uncheck this, click on the Save button and close Windows Defender.
When we're done it is very important that you enable Real-time Protection again.

Now check the following line in HijackThis, then press "Fix Checked":

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [License Manager] "C:\Program Files\License_Manager\license_manager.exe " /silent

Restart your computer, then delete the C:\Program Files\License_Manager folder.

Now for some housekeeping:

Shut down Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.

Go to Control Panel/Internet, and clear your temporary Internet Files.
Also clear your History.
Go to the 'Content' tab, click 'Autocomplete', and clear your forms and passwords cache.

Now go to the Advanced tab, and click Restore Defaults.
Go to the Security tab > Internet, and click restore defaults there as well.

Empty the entire contents of your Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temp folder (it probably has the hidden attribute!), and empty your recycle bin.

You could also achieve some performance gain by disabling unneccessary services
Here's a site that will be of help in determining what can stay, and what can be disabled in your particular configuration.

http://www.theelderg...vices_guide.htm

I urge you to create a restore point before you start disabling services. Many of them are interdependent, and disabling one you think you can do without can affect one or more others you may need.

Also, have you recently defragmented your drive? If not, I suggest you do:

Start > Run > Dfrg.msc

It's also a very good idea to compact your registry; you can use NTRegopt for that:

Finally, Click Start , and then click Run .
In the Open box, type sfc /scannow (Note: there's a space following "sfc"!), and then click OK . You may be prompted to insert the Windows XP installation CD-ROM.

Windows will verify the integrity of the system files, will detect whether any system files are missing or corrupted, and will restore the correct version from either the Windows CD-ROM, or from your Windows\ServicePackFiles folder.

Now test to see whether things run a little more crisply.

Good luck!
