My computer is very slow and I do not know what the problem is. As suggested on your site, I have downloaded and run adware, ewido spyware, spyboot and still my computer is very slow. It is taking several minutes to search and downloading has become impossible. Can you please assist me with this?
I have attached a copy of my HijackThis log

Thank you

Hi petsr4keeps,


When did this start happening? Have you installed anything recently?

[petsr4keeps]

Sorry I am in the wrong forum. I checked my add and remove programs and mywebsearch is not showing up in there.

[computerwiz12890]

That's because it is not there, only the left over "context menu" is there. rushin1nd has not gone through training for analyzing a HijackThis log.

Please continue with my instructions, in addition to answering emery's questions. If my fix does not work, knowing what you might have installed/changed recently could give us a clue as to what is going on.

[petsr4keeps]

Thanks....I am in the process of downloading and running the Tune Up 2006 program, but it is taking a little time.

[petsr4keeps]

I downloaded and ran Tune Up 2006, but I did not have an option of clicking on Optimize and Improve, so I could not run the TuneUp Registry Defrag. What should I do now?

[computerwiz12890]

Defragging the registry is not too big a deal. As long as you were able to do the other things. Did you notice any improvement?

And, you never answered emery's questions:

"When did this start happening? Have you installed anything recently?"

answering these questions may give us a clue as to what to do next.

[petsr4keeps]

To answer Emerys question... This problem has been ongoing for the past 2 weeks or so. I did install Sympatico MSN Premium from Bell and Removed the Panda virus/security program as I was having problems with the speed of my computer, so I called Bell for troubleshooting and they suggested that I try their product. I am currently running the Tune up Registry Defrag.
