I'd appreciate any help with this. My system keeps slowing down and my DRWATSON thing keeps growing into a very large file (>1gb) which totally slows everything to a standstill. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you'remy only hope.

(Well forget the Obi-Wan bit but I do need help)

Thanks:)

Hi MP. Welcome to GTG.

We can definitely help you, but first you need to help us. The first step in this process is to apply Service Pack 1a for Windows XP. Without this update, you're wide open to re-infection, and we're both just wasting our time.
Click here: http://www.microsoft...p1/default.mspx
Apply the update, reboot, and post a fresh Hijack This log.

Thanks coachwife6.

I got my hands on the Windows Service pack 2, installed it, and ran HJT again.

Here is my log:
Thanks in advance:)

You have three firewalls running: one from McAfee and one from Sygate and one from Zone Alarm. Figure out which one you want and uninstall the others. You will need to post another log when you're done because I don't know which ones to eliminate from the start-up process in your log.

You may wish to print out a copy of these instructions to follow while you complete this procedure.

Please save Hijack This in a permanent folder (i.e. C:\HJT). This ensures backups are saved and accessible.

Please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an X in the boxes, only next to these following items, then click fix checked.
