To all that can help,

My girlfriends laptop is running really really slow and I did some simple stuff to speed it up like deleting Nortan and going with NOD32 instead so its not so much in the system and turning off some start up processes as well.. Also she didnt know much about spyware, malware, ect. so i scanned and found over 60 things of spyware and about 3 trojans on here laptop not good... So now its about 20-30% faster than it was... I wasnt sure on where to ask this so I just thought I would post here...

Thanks,

Coots

Being this looks like you still may have a active infection then

Please go to the "Malware Forum" link in my signature below and follow the instructions at the top
Especially the "You Must Read This Before Posting A HijackThis Log".

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself.
If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty start a topic and post the requested logs in THAT forum.
Once the malware technicians have cleared out any infection and given you a clean bill of health, and if the problem continues then feel free to post back here and we can investigate the problem even more.
