Default Very Slow Start Up, Running And Close Down After Trojan Removal

Hi. I have a friend with a windows XP home edition PC which was infected with
several Trojan and other viruses. So far we have run Avast virus removal
tool, Super Antispyware, Windows Live Onecare and scanned with PC Tools
Threatfire. After cleaning the system up, we ran Hijackthis, pasted the
result into an online analyser and deleted a few entries as recommended. It
appears the system is now clear of infection. However it is running very very
slowly. It takes 10 minutes to boot up, 20 seconds to respond to commands
and about another 5 minutes to shut down. We have installed Zonealarm free
firewall, PC Tools free antivirus and Threatfire and uninstalled all other
firewall and antivirus programmes. Can anyone offer any help please. Thanks
