    Takes about 1-2 minutes to load, but is fine after that. I suspect it is some kind of toolbar or program that accidently got loaded, but I don't know how to look for it or how to remove it. Here is my log file from hijackthis. Does anyone have any suggestions or could point me to the right direction? Thanks.

    Hi


    Linked to your thread in malware if anyone wishes to review your Hijackthis log ( as inline logs are not permitted, attached fine ) Malware thread http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=159362


    Have you followed the information on startups that Chaslang posted in that thread above?

    Also have you started IE in No-Addons mode? Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) and see if this helps, if it does then you have an add-on that is causing this so start in IE normal mode then disable all addons and re-enable one at a time to find the faulting one.
