As maynard said this could be an issue with not enough RAM or it's bad.

Looking at it from another angle I'm wondering why you keep getting infected.

You were infected and re-installed Windows. You installed your old programs and AV (Norton) and a day or two later you're system slowed down and you detected trojans again. Startup items are nil.

Uninstalled Norton and grabbed a copy of AVG. AVG scan was clean (which doesn't say much for AVG). Computer is still slow.

Re-installed Windows again. Installed 2 programs (FL Studio 8 along with 5GB of audio samples & Adobe CS3). You also said you installed AVG 8 full version before installing everything. Is this the same copy of AVG?

Whether or not you have items in the startup programs matters little if your system is once again infected. They would most likely not show up there. There is obviously something that is causing your infections.

Where are you getting these programs?
Are you using P2P or bittorrent?
