Hello

I'm a new member and was referred by a friend of mine that lives too far away to drop by and help. So I hope to get help here and learn something in the process.

Last week I noticed the Dr Watson keylogger debugger notice pop up. I ran scans with what I have and did not come up with anything too unusual except with AD-Aware came up with a couple that I deleted. I didn't get any more notices about Dr Watson.

But now my system runs very slowly when on the internet and it's always waiting on about:blank which is new.
I have high speed internet access and I am running slower than dial up.
So any direction and help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Inspectorboy

Hi there and welcome
Please follow all of the steps in this section of the Malware Forum. These self-help tools will help you clean up 70% of problems on your own. If you are still having problems after doing the steps, then please post a HiJackThis Log in the Malware Forum. If you are unable to run and/or post a HJT log, then post that in your initial post in the topic you create in that forum. Should you post in that forum please do not respond to your own topic. Our Malware Staff look for topics to help out in that have no responses. The Malware Forum is very busy with many more requests for help than we have volunteer helpers, so please be patient. If you have not had a response to a topic after 3 days then please go to the Waiting Room and read the pinned topic for instructions.
