I cleaned up what I could using Spybot, Ad-Aware, Norton Internet Security and the HijackThis automated log analyzer but the machine is extremely slow!
The files cleaned up were si91e44b.dll he3e3fc4.dll readdb40.dll and nossqjt.dll
Ad-Aware, Spybot and Norton all find nothing but the machine is unbearably slow.
Two processes seem to be running twice (svchost.exe and cidaemon.exe)
Here is my log. Someone please help!

please download RKFiles from here:
http://skads.org/special/rkfiles.zip
Unzip it to the desktop but please do NOT run it yet.

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Uvwj] C:\WINDOWS\System32\chuu.exe

Reboot into safe mode and run RKFiles.bat. It may take a while. When it is finished a window should appear with a log.

Restart your computer in normal mode, and please post the contents of the logfile, which should be at c:\log.txt.

So, I re-ran it in normal mode and received the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\Heidi\Desktop

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL FILES FOUND BY THIS METHOD ARE NOT BAD FILES, THERE MIGHT BE LEGIT FILES LISTED AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHILE FIXING. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WHAT IT IS LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Results:

Status: MIGHT BE INFECTED/MALWARE (Sandbox emulation took a long time and/or runtime packers were found, this is suspicious. Normally programs aren't packed and don't force the sandbox into lengthy emulation. Do realize no scanner issued any warning, the file can very well be harmless. Caution is advised, however.)

I also ran the other two files through the suggested website.
vsapi.dll came back OK
tsc.exe is a Trend Micro Cleanup Engine. I deleted it anyway.
The log was:

Normally programs aren't packed and don't force the sandbox into lengthy emulation. Do realize no scanner issued any warning, the file can very well be harmless. Caution is advised, however.)

If you are still using Trend Micro, deleting that file was not adviseable.

Any way. Can you post a new HijackThis log and let me know if your computer is still slow and how and when you notice it most.

I finally threw in the towel and reloaded windows.
I also added 512Mb of RAM. I am in the process of
a Norton Antivirus scan. Everything seems to be running
much better (fast). This machine was in a transition between users
so it was an okay time to do this. I believe there was some
conflict going on between the accounts and all the viruses
had been cleared.

Thanks for all your assistance,
Roger
