quick look at hijack this and any other suggestions....

[spizotfl]

Hi, I am working on a box that is terribly sluggish and responds very slowly. In safe mode, it works much better. Have run spybot and ad-aware in safe mode and run an up to date virus check. Nothing much was found, other than the usual scary cookie warnings....
From my own poking around I have noticed that when the system starts there is a CMD.exe process running and using a lot of processor resources. I know cmd.exe is used to launch a command prompt, but there isn't one running. Looking in the documents and settings/all users/start menu/program files/startup folder there is a file called register. I tried deleting, but it reappeared on reboot.
I am going to run the trial of spysweeper to see if that catches anything. If you have any suggestions, i would love to hear them.
The hijack this log is below:

pc is.



Highlight the portion of the scan that lists infected items and hold
CTRL + C to Copy then paste it here. The whole log with be extremely
big so there is no way to copy the whole thing. I just need the
infected items list.
