    {I posted a thread a little bit ago and attached the wrong .txt file with it, so i appologize.}

    Hello I recently was infected with something that i cant seem to get rid of. Ive run several programs to find it, downloaded nearly every recomended removal program, run it, and still no luck.

    Some of my symptoms include;
    -slow down during 'my computer' loading
    -slow down during 'recycle bin' loading
    -slow down when clicking on any drop menus
    -programs not opening, claiming not enough resources
    those are the main problems.

    I have read through the rules of posting, i have HiJackThis downloaded to the correct folder, I will attach a logfile.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, otherwise Im getting ready for the dreaded reformat...

    -Chris

    Please do not post multiple threads. You must remain in one thread for you problem. You should have responded with this message in your previous thread.

    Your OS & IE versions are way out of date and represent a major security risk. After we fix any current problems, you must address this. We will talk about that later.

    Your log is basically clean but you can have HJT fix the below lines:

    O9 - Extra button: Poker.com - {6FDD5236-C9F0-49ef-935D-385F5E21991A} - C:\Program Files\Poker.com\poker.exe
    O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {85d1f590-48f4-11d9-9669-0800200c9a66} - %windir%\bdoscandel.exe (file missing)
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Uninstall BitDefender Online Scanner v8 - {85d1f590-48f4-11d9-9669-0800200c9a66} - %windir%\bdoscandel.exe (file missing)

    I would suggest the following:
    1) If you did not purchase and do not plan to purchase Spy Sweeper, uninstall it.
    2) If you plan on buying Spy Sweeper or already have then keep it and uninstall MS Antispyware.
    3) Uninstall Ewido

    What you do need to install is an Antivirus application and a firewall. This is covered in the below link which also addresses your out of date OS.
