    Hello,

    Did you get spybot and adaware installed on your system?

    Have you installed anything recently that could be causeing the slow down?

    I'm not seeing anything in your log that looks malicious.

    Let's try this:

    Download CCleaner from here:
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4191.html
    or here:
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner.html

    Install and run it. The windows tab should be opened in the upper left of the program. Click analyze and then click run cleaner. Just use the windows tab that is up front by default.

    1.Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".

    2.If you are running Firefox: ,then click on the "Applications" tab and uncheck "Cookies" under "Firefox".

    Then:


    Lets see what some virus scans can uncover and we will go from there.

    Get the stinger here:
    http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

    Download it to another computer if need be, and bring it to the affected computer on floppy disk.

    It will kill the top 53 virus files if any are found there

    then,

    Internet Explorer required
    Run these two online virus scanners (Panda Activescan) following these instructions below:
    http://www.pandasoftware.com/product..._principal.htm


    Internet Explorer required
    Also this excellent(BitDefender) scanner:http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html

    These scans will take more than an hour to complete, so make sure you have time to let them run thru. Save the Panda scan log and the BitDefender log and post them back here please with a new Hijackthis log.

    Thanks.
