    The full will give the correct answer.
    If it is clean we can try a few more tricks.

    I just finished a scan. the only result is a "trojan" which isn't really a trojan. I'm quite certain of that fact.

    Also download process explorer and notice what happnes at the magic hours. More ram being used, or is it just internet slowdown?

    Its software, probably the anti virus, Look at task scheduler, what is scheduled for that time?

    Its a schedulded maintenance job.

    The clean boot will help, too. Use clean boot at the witching hour.

    What am I looking for in the task scheduler? I don't see anything listed for the times where my slow downs occur.

    so you recommend I start in safe mode an hour before the slow downs and see if they happen?

    You are looking for the time in scheduler, if none there then that is not the problem.
