Hi Swanny2
Welcome to Malware Removal forum :)

You did a great job of installing HijackThis! Can you describe exactly the problems you are having?

As you can see, I'm still training, so will confer with my mentor before posting anything for you to do. If you click on the link at the bottom of this thread that says Watch this topic for replies, you will receive an email notice when I reply to you.

Let me do a bit of checking, and I'll be with you as soon as possible.

You certainly are NOT useless! (I won't tell you how many times I tried to get HJT into it's own place...sigh)

It will be a bit until a mentor reviews what I think we need to do 8)

ok mate ty .... :lol:

Welcome back, Swanny1 :)

I only see a few things in the HJT log at the moment.

I would like to ask you some questions, if I may?

1. When did you notice the slowing problem?
2. Do you clear out temp files on a regular basis?
3. Have you defragmented your computer lately?
4. I don't see a virus scanner installed on your machine. Would you like the address of some free ones?

Now down to getting rid of some of the stuff I see in your HijackThis log:
Open HJT and scan
Put a tick/checkmark next to these items:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://us.rd.yahoo.com/customize/ycomp/defaults/sb/*http://www.yahoo.com/search/ie.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://us.rd.yahoo.com/customize/ycomp/defaults/sp/*http://www.yahoo.com
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://us.rd.yahoo.com/customize/ycomp/defaults/su/*http://www.yahoo.com
With only HijackThis open (close everything else) Click on Fix Checked button. When done, close HJT.

To get rid of some of the stuff that is extra, let's do this:
Click on your Start button
Click on Run
Type in the box cleanmgr.exe
Click OK
A box will pop up, and scan your computer
Make sure these 3 things are checked:
Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin
press "Ok"

When that is finished, reboot normally.
Open HJT and scan one more time, save the log and paste it here to this thread.
I will be watching for your reply :)
