this is whats going on right now, everything is running super slow... anyone see anything suspicious?

I think the fact that you have so many useless services up is one thing.

advice on what to do? i ran adaware, and norton... found nothing

My advice?

Start making a list of everything you want to keep/save.

And reformat and reinstall.

spybot has a startup editor which will tell you what's good, what's bad, and what's unnessisary
just switch the program to advanced mode

or use hijack this and put the log file it generates into http://www.hijackthis.de

formatting everytime you have a problem is a pain..

^^^ unfortunately, that is the best advice. im going to have to do that to my cousin's computer, because he's been battling popups and spyware for over a year on the same install, and he uses all the adaware, spybot, and windows defender.

it's the "family" computer that everyone uses, and clicks and installs everything that looks "cool" from the popup ads, so there's no telling what kind of stuff they have on there
