Slower than molasses!

The laptop is running slower than molasses in winter! I don't know if I have a
bug or something else slowing me down.
The anti-virus (Comodo) isn't showing any problems, but I feel there is something
going on!
I checked the start-up config, and there are some things I'm not sure should be loading,
but I don't have enough confidence to delete them [from the start menu]. The only
things I have that I want to load from start-up are my Stickies, my Getright, and
my Tivo apps, as I use them quite frequently. But there are, I believe, other things
which load that are just sapping my memory.
If I take one of my devices off its USB port, it takes almost a minute to have the
audible tone to sound off. It takes about 5-7 minutes for Firefox to load after
I have hit the button, and lately, it just seems to be like walking in mud.
I do transfer quite a few of my Tivo TV shows, and then send them to an external
drive for safekeeping, And I try to keep about 10-20 GB free on the hard drive at
all times. (It's a 160 GB HD).
I can post the HJT logfile ASAP if it will help. Thank you most kindly!
