4. tried to defrag with Auslogics defrag and it defraged the drive

5. HD Tune: just completed an error scan and 1 block (38MB) was damaged.

After doing all of this my machine is running much better... I will keep and eye on it and let you know if it worsens... thanks for all your help.
2. spyware: updated and ran Spybot and Adaware

These programs are the minimum you should do for antispyware...

If you really want to get rid of embedded spyware then dump these and buy a copy of Webroot's Spysweeper with antivirus. You will be amazed at what it finds on your system that Spybot and Adaware missed...
