Hey,
I am having some general running issues with my computer. It has been running extremely slow when multiple programs are running. I am having problems with a right click menu drop down being blank and having to scroll over the box in order to make the link visible. I know that I have never defragged this computer and plan on doing that this evening. What I'm wondering is if my memory is being over exerted... My spyware has also encountered a trojan but I have yet to locate it in McAfee. I downloaded the recommended programs by your site and found nothing at all, other than 180Solutions.zangosearch. Some of these running issues started after I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0. Some of the problems were there before hand, but noticably more after installing Adobe. Should I be upgrading my RAM as well, my sytem currently has 512MB, and I'm sure that is being stretched out to the max while running most of the programs that I do. Any information or help with resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time. :whistling:

Ouch, looks like your badly infected.

Please follow the procedures outlined here: Malware Removal Guide

You will need a PC which can connect to the internet

Run all the programmes as advised then post a current Hijack This Log in a new topic in the Malware Forum

For the purpose of accurate malware analysis, Hijack This Logs are only dealt with in the Malware Forum. Posting them anywhere else will result in a delayed response

If you are unable to run any of the programmes, please ask for advice in the Malware Forum
