One of the computers at home is running incredibly slowly on the internet at the moment, running spyware as we speak but its been done a few times to no avail. Would someone take a look at the HJT log and let me know if you spot anything untoward...

Unless you think it's not suspicious please do the following:

Download and Run ComboFix
If you already have Combofix, please delete this copy and download it again as it's being updated regularly.
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
If that happened we want to know, and also what process you had to end.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate! :)

just a note as to the reason for looking into this.

I have two systems on a wireless network here, my main one is absolutely fine, internet running at decent speeds and all is well. On the other system its incredibly slow, downloading it never gets above about 9 kb/s and web pages are taking forever so any other suggestions on what could be at issue would be welcome
 
Hmm one thing bothers me is that svchost.exe is not running from the right place. could be a malware. Let's look more into that.

Looking at your reply, the issue could be from an interference between the router and the receiver on the other computer (a wireless phone, a wall...). If there is no interference, try to look into your router/wireless network's settings if you did not limit the transfers on the other computer.

Ok Svchost is not running in the right place. Let's take actions:

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
  • Choose your usual account.
  • Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
  • Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
  • It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
  • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
  • When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
  • Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
    (Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
  • Finally paste the contents of the Report.txt back on the forum with a new HijackThis log
