Sorry if that was a bad title.

Anyhow, my computer, running XP, is experiencing a huge number of problems as of late. It is 2.8 ghz, and yet it moves at the speed of light (That was sarcism). When I start it up, it takes 6-8 minutes to useable, and when I open anything to begin with, more often than not it will freeze up, and take 5-10 minutes to do anything. If I switch user (running home edition), then when you try to log on as someone else, it will crash with a blue screen. IE crashes the first time it is used, if it opens at all. Also, I am having trouble removing the Elitebar and Searchmiracle spyware, which just refuses to go. I have run several virus scans, Norton and a few online scanners. I've used Ad-aware and Spybot, and still nothing. Here is the hijackthis log:

Finally, if I get IE working, then occasionally it will crash for 2-5 seconds while I'm writing something. This happened while I was writing this post.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

You should post your HiJack This log in the Spyware/ Viruses Section for reading.

In this thread you can relate any error messages you get.
From the blue screen Stop Errors?
or from the Event Viewer
Start > Run > eventvwr.msc
Look for Red X errors after opening the tabs, click on error line for details.

Post back errors that seem to relate to a crash or just seem to be repetitive.

OK, sorry.

In the System tab, I'm getting a lot of errors for "Service Control Manager" and "DCOM." Same with "W32time." There are also plenty of warnings for "Dhcp."

with the source as well as the event ID you can search here

http://www.eventid.net/search.asp

or post back & we'll have a look.

if you see a bunch that relate to a specific Time that you recognise as a crash that would pinpoint it further.

Er, that was a bit hard to understand, but I think this is what you want, tell me if it isn't:

Service Control Manager, 7000
DCOM is unrecognized, but ID of 6005. Some times... 11:24, 11:23, 11:22
Dhcp, 1007
Userenv, 1517

That help?

Did these problems just start happening?
Any new hardware or software?
Have you tried a Restore Point?

Those were just general errors not leading to much.

The next time you get a blue screen error be sure to copy all the details, #'s etc.

Owen will comment on your log tomorrow. Perhaps that will shed some light.

Those errors only show like this:

Potentially any service may cause this to be recorded so there could be 1000s of variants. Missing or corrupted files, insufficient rights, missing registry entries, antivirus software, faulty hardware, software bugs and probably many other reasons may cause a service to fail in the starting process. The Service Control Manager that handles the startup of services simply records the failure.

Message generated when a computer is configured to obtain its IP address automatically (from a DHCP server) but no DCHP server answered the request. A random IP address (within the 169.254.0.0 range) is assigned to the computer. Check the availability of a DHCP server for that segment.

Windows saved user <user name> registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use. This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

OK, I'll bring up the blue screen now. That's how bad it is, I can do it on command.

like jephree said have these problems just started happening?

to me it just sounds like a total spyware clog up and if i were you i would back up my files then format, if you dont feel comfortable with formatting then a thorough going over with spyware programs like ad-aware and spybot

I've done that, nothing found.

Any Blue Screen errors yet?

Is your XP a full install or OEM?

Perhaps a Repair Install is in order?
