My computer is at a stage where it takes 35 plus seconds to open a desktop folder.  I have looked at the generic recommendations on many of the forum posts and have done the following:

1.  Removed desktop clutter into folders.
2.  Ran CCCleaner and removed some older stufff and reduced startup requirements.
3.  Ran AVG
4.  Ran Spybot S&D
5.  Ran RegCure
6.  Ran Rogue Remover
7.  Defragged the computer
8.  Reran 2 - 6

I swear this is true:  I cannot install SuperAntiSpyware.  I get to a screen on the computer requesting my e-mail, and it will not go any further after clicking "next screen."   Last evening I left the computer on this screen for over 2 hours and it would not advance.

I would sincerely appreciate your assistance.  Here is my log:
