Computer Running Slow = Ran many virus scans

Hey everyone,

As I'm very new to this site, I saw a thread by Neal and installed & ran Ad-Aware, AVG, and SpyBot programs to catch any unwanted viruses and such. I also ran HijackThis and will copy & paste what I found to figure out how I should continue with trying to fix this. My main problem is my computer is running pretty slow and also my music players (any kind, such as Windows Media Player, iTunes, and players on websites, as well as when I have a CD in the computer) constantly "skip." I say skip because its almost as if its being interrupted with too many programs running but this happens when I have only that certain program up. I also know that it is not an issue with memory or RAM because I currently have 23.7 GB of used space and 32.0 GB of Free space. I truly have no idea what else to do after this if anyone could help me. My e-mail is xxxxxxxxx. I appreciate any worthwhile feedback.

Here is the HijackThis pasted material:
