    Hi
    I have just used Hijack this to see if there is anything that shouldn't be there. As I have as much knowledge as a new born Gnat, could I post the log on here for someone to look at?
    Thanks

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please explain what operations are slow! For example answer the below:

    • Is boot up slow?
    • Is shutdown slow?
    • Is browsing/surfing slow?
    • Is downloading slow?
    • Is running any application?
    • Is it also slow in safe boot mode?
    • Also are any process showing in Task Manager to be using a lot of CPU time?
    • Anything else slow?
    If you suspect you have malware problems, the below is what you need to do. HijackThis is not what you need to do.

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions. If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

    When I go to the site to download superantispyware I can only download spyware doctor. is this the same? only the scanning setup instructions are not the same as on your site. it also needs to be purchased to fix problems.

    No! You are not clicking on the download links for SUPERAntispyware. You are clicking on advertisements on the download page. The download links look like below. In fact what I pasted in below can even be clicked on to download SUPERAntiSpyware. But for other downloads from Major Geeks, those are the links you also need to look for on the download pages to download to any program we ask you to download. If you installed Spyware Doctor, uninstall it immediately!
