Hi,

Been having real headaches recently with all the programs that I use regularly, especially Internet Explorer. Last week I went through your suggested list of scans and cleanups. I found and deleted heaps of nasty stuff, but it still hasn't helped with the program crashes. Would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions. Here is the log from Hijack This:
