Slow Internet & firefox problems

Essentially, at one point I did have the Vundo Trojan. After trying to find different fixers, i found one (VundoFix) that did work.

I no longer get the pop-ups associated with it, but my internet is still just as slow as before. I am not sure whether or not it is just the remainants of the virus or my firefox is stupid. My firefox freezes and stops loading sites like facebook, and certain other websites only half load. They start loading, and some images or other parts just don't load. Firefox says i is still trying to load it, but it just stops and won;t load.

Another problem is that youtube, when i try to watch a video, shows the LOADING screen for at least 5 minutes before showing any video. This only started after the virus.

I will post the hijackthis log if needed.

Please, does someone know what is happening or has this happened to you?

I have looked at all the firefox help forums where this has happened to other people, but it also sort of happens to be in IE7 too....(grr)...so... any help is appreciated

 

quick question, does MSN Plus bring all kinds of Malware on to your computer, because many of the scanners i have don't seem to like it....

 

....oh, i am following those steps, and i will have a HJT log soon...sorry for the multiples, it was lagging and nothing was happening.....firefox hung again....

 

ok, so here is my Hijack log...i followed all the steps
