Laptop being very, very slow...

So, I have an Acer Aspire One, it's about a month old, and today it started being very, very, very slow, for no reason... It baffles me, completely. It takes about 6 minutes to boot and when it does it still lags a lot. I'm running a malwarebytes scan to see if it picks up anything, but I was wondering what CF's input might be.
 
Google and run; CCleaner, Defraggler, and Eusing Free Registry cleaner.

Also, be sure to post the log Malwarebytes' generates.

What are the system specs of the laptop?
 
Both Malwarebytes and AVG found nothing.
I checked and double checked all of my running processes, and my CPU and RAM usage never really goes up too high, but I'm still getting considerable amounts of lag. When I listen to a song it is very choppy. It didn't start happening until today when my cousin and I were swapping music with each other today over a wireless network, so I decided to restart, thinking that might solve my problem, and then it just took about 6-10 minutes to boot. It went to the Windows XP screen with the loading bar in the normal amount of time but then it just stayed there for a very long time. The loading didn't freeze, it just kept going and going. But I could get into safe mode in the normal amount of time.

The system specs are:
1GB RAM
1.6GHz Intel Atom
 
Here's a Hijack this file for anyone who knows about them.

Nope. But I think I may have figured it out. I think the file Winlogon.exe is corrupt. I'll have to look into that further when I get home tomorrow.
