Hello, I am unable to download and run HJT or the other programs suggested in the help section. I get a message saying"application failed to start because MSVBVM60.dll was not found. Restsrting app may fix this issue." I have a Compaq nc8430 running Windows XP.

I ended up running ComboFix on the advice of another site. I have that log posted here.

The adtrgt.com is no longer an issue, however, the machine still seems to be slow. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks and have a nice day.

Hello, I was able to download the suggested programs after getting msvbvm60.dll sucessfully reinstalled on my machine. I believe I have the problem solved at this point so feel free to close this topic.
