Yes, I know, Windows Update might be running after that sequence is over...
That hijackthis program, try also, but do not check box anything and click FIX, that program is powerful but deadly if not treated with kid gloves.
What's your virtual memory situation on that PC?
Suggesting you zero out your virtual memory whereever it is and reboot with none, defrag the partition you use for it, assuming not on a SSD, then reset to 2048 min and max and reboot again.
If the virtual memory got corrupted and was way too big, I could see it causing this issue.
You may not like this answer, but how about saving all your "data" and doing a clean install.
If you don't have an SP1 W7 disc, you can download your flavor from digitalrivercontent, burn it to dvd, and then proceed to do the install. There should be a COA sticker somewhere on your machine with a license key.
I know it's a hundred update hassle, and then the re-installation of all your programs. But that shouldn't be more than 4 hours or so. Look at how much time has been exhausted already to try and get you a solution to this problem that's really been annoying you for many days.

It looks like we have a fix --- at last! Going through the list of things various folks suggested. After uninstalling Spybot, the problem went away!
There is a downside though -- boot time reported by Soluto more than tripled from 2:15 to 7:15. No clue why this would happen, but for now I'll take it!
Many thanks to all that have spent time helping!
I'll mark this thread solved --- maybe later when I'm not so fed up with dealing with computer issues I'll try to get to the bottom of the long boot time.

Run Soluto again to see where the additional time came from.
I've looked at your driver list, and some are very old (2006,2007). Was this Gateway originally Vista, and then updated to Windows 7?

Vista has never been installed on this system, at least since I purchased it new. It was purchased with Windows 7 pre-installed.
Here's the info. you asked for:
ALSO Note: I subsequently have shut-down/restarted the system several times since my last post. Boot times were all in the 7+ minute range until the very last one where boot time returned to the 2+ range. During the several 7+ minute boot sequences, Soluto reported Kaspersky, svchost, system and Win Explorer as being the chief contributors.Code:Diagnostic Report (1.9.0027.0): ----------------------------------------- Windows Validation Data--> Validation Code: 0 Cached Online Validation Code: 0x0 Windows Product Key: *****-*****-WJ2H8-R6B6D-7QJB7 Windows Product Key Hash: ckKNc+BBPDWmo1LUlOkraNjlQ34= Windows Product ID: 00359-OEM-8992687-00006 Windows Product ID Type: 2 Windows License Type: OEM SLP Windows OS version: 6.1.7601.2.00010300.1.0.003 ID: {D53896FE-1C0A-4870-A395-C171600DEB8D}(1) Is Admin: Yes TestCab: 0x0 LegitcheckControl ActiveX: Registered, 1.9.42.0 Signed By: Microsoft Product Name: Windows 7 Home Premium Architecture: 0x00000009 Build lab: 7601.win7sp1_gdr.130318-1533 TTS Error: Validation Diagnostic: Resolution Status: N/A Vista WgaER Data--> ThreatID(s): N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Windows XP Notifications Data--> Cached Result: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 File Exists: No Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 WgaTray.exe Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 WgaLogon.dll Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGA Notifications Data--> Cached Result: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGAExec.exe Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGAAddin.dll Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGA Data--> Office Status: 100 Genuine Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003 - 100 Genuine OGA Version: N/A, 0x80070002 Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Office Diagnostics: B4D0AA8B-604-645_025D1FF3-364-80041010_025D1FF3-229-80041010_025D1FF3-230-1_025D1FF3-517-80040154_025D1FF3-237-80040154_025D1FF3-238-2_025D1FF3-244-80070002_025D1FF3-258-3_E2AD56EA-765-d003_E2AD56EA-766-0_E2AD56EA-134-80004005 Browser Data--> Proxy settings: N/A User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;

Also - the original problem reappeared with the last shut-down/restart, e.g., constant hard drive write activity and exceedingly slow system response for several minutes following appearance of the desktop. This in spite of Spybot and SuperAntiSpyware having been uninstalled.
