Lately my computer's been virtualy non-responsive... now its working normall so I'm taking time to post this. Anyway I'm pretty sure its a failing hard drive but before I try and RMA it I wanted to post a HJT log to see if it's not malware:

No, they are LSP's (Layered Service Provider), they are fine. As you can see, he has nVidia, which is what those files are for. If you give me some time I can take a look at your log.

I see you're a half life player thoug... Counter-Strike?
And if you don't mind my asking, why are you running a server off your computer?

Anyway, can you be a bit more descriptive as to what the problems are specifically? If you can give me a detailed description it's much easier to figure out what is exactly wrong.

I don't see any AV programs, or Anti-malware programs here.

Make sure you are protected with a known anti-virus software and a firewall

Recommended Anti-Virus Programs

Avast - Free Edition
AVG Free Version
NOD32

Recommended Firewalls

Sunbelt Kerio Firewall
ZoneAlarm Free Edition



Next, if they're not already present, I would recommend the download and installation of some of the following anti-spyware programs, and the updating of them regularly. Having only a firewall and anti-virus software is not enough to keep you safe from spyware, as both are mostly weak against the onslaught of spyware today out there on the internet :

• Ad-Aware SE - Ad-Aware SE is an excellent program against spyware but usually adware. Works well together with Spybot S&D. It's free. A tutorial can be found here.
  
• Spybot Search & Destroy - Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove a multitude of adware files and modules from your computer. Spybot also can clean program and Web-usage tracks from your system, which is especially useful if you share your computer. Modules chosen for removal can be sent directly to the included file shredder, ensuring complete elimination from your system. For advanced users, it allows you to fix Registry inconsistencies related to adware and to malicious program installations. The handy online-update feature ensures that Spybot always has the most current and complete listings of adware, dialers, and other uninvited system residents. Spybot S&D goes great together with Ad-Aware SE as a anti-spyware/adware arsenal.
  
  Version 1.4 has the first native multi-installation scanner, noticeably faster than the previous version during scans, and has improved the tools and updated the interface. Spybot S&D is absolutely free. A tutorial can be found here.
  
• Spyware Blaster - SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs. SpywareBlaster is free. A tutorial can be found here.
  
• IE Spyad - IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone, so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all. It basically prevents any downloads, cookies, scripts from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites. IE-SPYAD is free. A tutorial can be found here.
  
• Spyware Doctor - Spyware Doctor is a top-rated malware & spyware removal utility that detects, removes and protects your PC from thousands of potential spyware, adware, trojans, keyloggers, spybots and tracking threats. Protect your privacy and computing habits from prying eyes and virtual trespassers with the help of Spyware Doctor. This one you will have to pay, but it is worth every penny.
  
• Windows Defender (Beta 2) - Free program from Microsoft that helps protect your computer against pop-ups, slow performance, and security threats caused by spyware and other unwanted software. It features Real-Time Protection, a monitoring system that recommends actions against spyware when it's detected, and a new streamlined interface that minimizes interruptions and helps you stay productive.
  
• Fire Trust Sitehound - Firetrust introduces the SiteHound Toolbar - the safe way to browse the Internet. With SiteHound, when you browse the Internet, you're shown a warning page every time you go to a site which is a known scam, potentially loads viruses or spyware on to your computer, has questionable content or anything you would not consider reasonable. You are shown a warning page with information about that site. From there you can choose to enter the site or go back. SiteHound is a free add-on to Internet Explorer.
  
• WinPatrol - WinPatrol uses a heuristic approach to detecting attacks and violations of your computing environment. Traditional security programs scan your hard drive searching for previously identified threats. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge. You'll be removing dangerous new programs while others download new reference files. This one is free but has a "Plus" version that you can pay for.
  
• A-squared - Free version can scan for worms, trojans, dialers and spyware. The non-free version has realtime-monitoring.
  
• ewido anti-malware - Highly underrated from the beginning by most critics, ewido anti-malware offers protection from spyware, adware, trojans and dialers. The first time you download it, it will have realtime-monitoring. After the trial, the realtime-monitoring disappears but you will still be able to use it for scanning and removing present infections for free.
  
• Spysweeper - Webroot's Spy Sweeper is well known for being one of the better spyware detection and removal programs. A 30-day free trial is available, however, it will not remove any spyware it detects; for that, you'll need to purchase the product.
  
• SpywareGuard - An anti-virus program scans files before you open them and prevents execution if a virus is detected - SpywareGuard does the same thing, but for spyware! This one is absolutely free.
  
  
  ALERT: Before adding any other Spyware Detection and Removal programs always check the Rogue Anti-Spyware List for programs known to be misleading, mistaken, or just outright "Foistware". You can find the list here.
  

Alternate Web Browsers

Because of the way Microsoft Windows is designed, Microsoft Internet Explorer is deeply embedded into Windows. This allows spyware and adware deep access to the Windows operating system. In addition, Internet Explorer has "features" that are exploited by the spyware authors, such as ActiveX and other integrated scripting operations. Since IE comes with every copy of Windows, it's easy for the spyware authors to assume those features are present and active.

There are several alternative web browsers that have fewer vulnerabilities. Firefox and Opera are excellent choices to replace IE.

1) Mozilla Firefox - Firefox is a light, small, fast browser that has all the standard features of a web browser and has fewer vulnerabilities.
2) Opera Web Browser- Opera displays security information inside the address bar that indicates the level of security present on a site. Opera also provides protection against phishing attacks and automatically checks for security updates.

Note: All Microsoft Updates can only be downloaded/viewed through the Internet Explorer web browser.[/size]
