i was using my computer earlier looking stuff online through google. but for some reason, now when i open my browser, after some time, whenever i try to open a page or change a page it just keeps loading forever and doesn't do anything no matter what i do.

here is a log from hijackthis: maybe someone can help me clean my system a little or tell me what exactly is causing this.

Hi warrenbuffet, welcome to GeeksToGo

Firstly, when you say my browser is this IE or Firefox that is acting..

Secondly, I see evidence of 3 antivirus programs on your computer...AVG, Nod32, and Kaspersky..and what I don't see is the startup entries for them other than in services..

We certainly advise against having more than one antivirus running at a time as that can cause numerous problems and conflicts. If you want to keep more than one for the ad-hoc scanning that's fine, but in terms of realtime protection please turn two of them off and keep only one..and if you have any items disabled from startup via msconfig or an external application please reenable them before posting a new log..

There are a few items to fix in your log, but first we have to turn Spywareguard off as it can interfere with the fixes..

Right click on the Spywareguard icon on your taskbar to bring it up. Click on the Options tab and on General uncheck all 3 items there. Click on Save Settings and then exit Spywareguard.

Open HijackThis and click Scan. Put a check next to these:

Close all other windows except HijackThis and click Fix Checked.

Reboot and post a new log.
