Your log is clean! If you want to optimize the performance of your pc, you can remove the optional items listed; or just some and keep the ones you want.

Great job trish! :P

I didn't do anything but follow your instructions, you guys did all the work and I am so grateful to you two and MP. I do have some other issues, though, I put them in the Tech Support thread.

i noticed my pc ran a lot faster when i cleaned out the optional stuff. Just make sure you look through it and your not deleting something important. (i have quicken stuff for taxes, my mom uses it, so i left it on there)

Yeah, but Quicken is just there for Auto-Startup. Removing things from startup won't hurt them (usually, some apps require). I always check sites for what's safe to remove too. Quicken can be launched from the Start Menu safely :P

Ok, here's my latest hjt log, is there anything else that I need to remove?

Looks good. To optimize it though, refer to prior posts under the Optional items.

I can remove what's left of Norton with HJT, or should I uninstall it?

You'll want to uninstall Norton. What all are you uninstall of Norton and switching to?

I have Zone Alarm right now, I couldn't get the Norton product to run.
