oh and i forgot to add, my computer is acting extremely slow in normal startup and is essentially frozen, i'm forced to use safe-mode with networking to do anything

If I were you I would download the AV in my sig. McAfee is crap anyway :).
Not seeing anything wrong in your log.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html) to your desktop.

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* At the end, be sure to checkmark the Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad.
* Post the log back here.

Make sure that you restart the computer.

The log can also be found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt
Or at C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt

Post new HJT log.

You say you are waiting to install McAfee...your log shows that there are remaining Symantec/Norton entries in Services.
When did you uninstall this program? And WHY was HiJackThis run in Safe Mode with Networking? It should be run in normal mode?

Whoops! Sorry Crunchie, didn't see you there.

oh and i forgot to add, my computer is acting extremely slow in normal startup and is essentially frozen, i'm forced to use safe-mode with networking to do anything

/\/\/\/\Judy/\/\/\/\ :) welcome back

oh and i forgot to add, my computer is acting extremely slow in normal startup and is essentially frozen, i'm forced to use safe-mode with networking to do anything

Your first log was run in normal mode. We don't get a full picture if HJT is run in safe mode is the reason I asked.
What about all those Symantec entries? Has it been uninstalled or just turned off?

Edit:
Thanks for the welcome crunchie. Good to be back

should all these be run in normal mode? the reason i'm doing everything in safe mode is because normal mode is simply not functioning for me, everytime i restart in normal mode, once i click on anything, the entire computer freezes up and it becomes impossible to use

should all these be run in normal mode? the reason i'm doing everything in safe mode is because normal mode is simply not functioning for me, everytime i restart in normal mode, once i click on anything, the entire computer freezes up and it becomes impossible to use

Basically yes, MBA-M for sure, it won't work properly in Safe Mode. This is directed by the creator of the program.
HJT should be run in normal mode because this is the only way we can see what is actually running on the computer.
May I ask, where you are located?

safe mode became too slow to use too so i decided to just reformat the computer completely, i'm actually living in ann arbor now

Sorry you had to resort to reformat. Sometimes though it is the best way to go.
After the computer is totally reloaded you might run a new HJT scan and post it back here. We can take a look at it to be certain all is well.
Judy

reformating's a pain but it had to be done, on a different note, after i reformatted, i've been noticing that when i'm running mozilla, my computer will freeze for half a minute to a minute at a time, i haven't used internet explorer much but as far as i can tell, the same thing isn't happening in IE, i can't for the life of me figure out what's going on, i've attached the hijackthis log below, thanks!!

Get service pack 1 for Vista and see how things go. A lot of different problems got sorted out with that.

Also looks to me like the java program is out of date. Current version is version 6 update 11. http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Download the Offline install and save it to the desk top. Close all browsers and double click to install.
Once the install is complete then go back to the download page and click Verify Now on the right side to verify the installation was fully successful.

i installed service pack 1 and the java update but the problem still seems to be lingering, especially when the computer has been on for a while, i'm hoping it's not broken ram but i don't know
