Hi there. I have something on my computer called "VMLIB.EXE". Looking around on the web, it appears that this may be some type of virus. Any help to remove it would be appreciated. The computer seems to be running slower than usual, sometimes even to a crawl. This also seems to happen even when offline. I have cleaned the temp. internet files, defragged, scan disk, and tried to eliminate unneeded software. All major programs are updated. Thanks. Here's the hijackthis log: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 12:30:52 PM, on 11/5/2009 Platform: Windows XP SP3 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16915) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware\AAWService.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\Program

All is good now.
Thank you so much for the help. I have installed the Avira anti virus and was able to do a manual update. Hopefully they will repair the auto updates soon.

I removed AdAware and Spybot and will install WinPatrol.

Again thank you.
