Looks clean to me.

What does Task Manager report under Processes/CPU as the first 5 in the list of CPU utilisation?

And what is your configuration?

Sorry, but I have to step in here. This is not a complete HJT log. Please redownload HJT from here and run it again. The hjt log should include the running processes(which you had) and then a fairly long list starting with R0/R1 and then going thru 02 03 04 09 .... and finally 23. All you have is the 23 part which doesn't help all that much. Make sure you copy and paste the whole things. :)
