My computer is slowing down to such a slow speed it is almost unusable.
I have two problems which I have not been able to resolve.
I have not been able to remove WinFixer malware
I previously had Norton Internet Security installed and attmepted to remove it and install Norton Antivise only. The result is I was unable to comletly elimiante this programs nor reistall them. There is a residual fiels on my system which I suspect is in conflict with Mcafee Antivirus which I installed.
I completed all the steps of prepareation as per the psot on this site prior to running Hijackthis, which resulted in the following log:
