HJT Log; No Known Virus; System Operating Issues

***Mods: Please move if this isn't in the right forum. My apologies beforehand. Thank you. ***


This HJT log is actually for my work computer. I've had the IT guy come in and look at it, periodically over the last year. He says there is nothing wrong.

However, starting in 2008 around December, at 5pm every day, both my computer and my other co-workers computer would start slowing down, nothing would run correctly, and you couldn't do anything at all. We're both in the same office, and the only 2 in our company of around 500 that use AdTaker, a program to type ads in.

This didn't bother us too much, since we're not here very often after 5. Around November of 2009 it started doing the slow down thing at 3pm every day. This is really bad, considering my deadline is at 3pm on Tuesdays. Last Tuesday, I was unable to do anything after 2:30, causing me to miss deadline. I've missed deadline 5 times in the last 2 months due to this problem.

To me, it seems like there's a log or a scan running, but according to what I can find/see, there isn't. Our IT guy can't find anything either, and at this point, I think he just thinks I'm crazy.

I'm uploading my HJT log, hoping that someone can see something I can't. This log was done around 10am this morning. I do plan to do another as soon as the system starts malfunctioning this afternoon, and post it as well.

Thanks in advance for any help you might can offer me.
