    Hello All,

    I'm new here and desperately in need of help. I'm no expert, but usually can figure out my own problems up until now.
    I was tricked into clicking on a facebook link, and since then, my internet connection has been extremely slow.

    I am running windows XP pro, SP3, with firefox 3.0.3, zone alarm free version.
    All windows security patches for windows XP are currently up to date.

    I have followed all the guidelines here and have tried everything I can do before posting.
    I am using bitdefender antivirus, and definitions were updated -- scan showed no problems.
    I have cleaned out everything using ccleaner, my drives are all defragmented, and have tried Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.30, spybot search & destroy, spyeraser, and scanned with mcaffe stinger with no luck--nothing found.

    superantispyware did find a few things listed below, but now scans as clean, even though the problem still exists.

    Unclassified.Unknown Origin/System

    Thanks very much in advance-- any help is greatly appreciated.
