You're off to a good start.
I'd replace One Care with MS Security Essentials:
http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
Uninstall One Care (And Norton if you have it).
Once a week sounds like a lot for defrag. You can use task scheduler to
set up a monthly defrag.
You're right not to mess with the registry scanner.
Yes-remove any apps you don't use.
Are these all backups? You might be able to pare this down.

You have a lot of Sony Services running. I'd investiagate these further
to see if they're needed.

You also seem to have a lot of toolbars.
I'm not sure what the Symantec entries are. Do you have Norton
installed?

vaio desktop

Thanks so much to both you and Kenneth. I appreciate your help.
Here's what I've done:
1) defrag runs once a week, on Sunday nights, when Windows Live OneCare
does
its weekly scan and tune-up and downloads updates from Microsoft. I
checked
anyway and was told the hard drive didn't need defrag at this time, so I
didn't.
Note: I didn't know OneCare was no longer being made, so I'll have to
do something about that. I'll need a new antivirus program, but I'm
wondering what else OneCare does that I'll need to replace.
2) I downloaded and ran Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware and it did a full
scan of
C: drive. Took almost 2 hours and found and removed 342 'somethings'.
3) Then I downloaded and ran Ccleaner and it removed 397.6 MB of more
'stuff'. I also used it to remove some program and program fragments
that I
could identify as not being needed. It offered to fix some missing dlls
at
the registry level (?) but I was intimidated by that so decided not to.
I
have the impression that if the registry gets messed up you can be in
big
trouble, and I don't like trouble. :-) What do you think? Also the
missing
dlls seemed to be related to either Google Earth or Netscape, and I
don't
use either- guess I should just remove them?
I'm up to 61 free GB and 164 used, so 16 more GB are free than were
yesterday. I guess I'm heading in the right direction, but wondering how
best to free up more.
4) Below is the Hijack log.
5) DS isn't around today so we haven't done the MSCONFIG thing yet.
All feedback, advice and information are more than welcome.

Slowness usually has more to do with maintenance than the need for an
upgrade. You may have accumulated problems over time that can be
corrected, but there's no easy fix.
There are some ideas here that will help:

Defragmentation will probably help, and a spyware scan is probably in
order. Use Malawarebyte's software and delete anything it recommends

Ccleaner will help with cleaning up unnecessary files:

If you post a Hijack log, we can probably identify unnecessary programs
and services:

Your HD is getting fairly full and that's not helping. Ccleaner will
help, but you may want to look into removing programs and files you
don't need or use.
