    Hi there,
    I recently got infected by spyware which has really slowed down my pc.
    I was infected with SurfSideKick 3. I removed that but my pc is still absolutely slow.

    Its obvious that i have other spyware programmes running.

    For example, when i load up it says: error loading netmon. I for one have not got a clue what that is!

    To add to that, my pc is so slow that it sometimes takes about 15 mins just opening a folder!

    Please Please help. My pc is fairly new and was running perfectly before it got infected.

    Any help would be much much appreciated!

    P.s. find attached the Hijack This log.

    Many thanks once again and please help.


    Andy,
    in much need!

    Yes you have numerous infections on your computer, some of which are highly critical.

    Welcome to MajorGeeks.com!

    You are strongly advised to do the following immediately:

    1. Disconnect infected computer from the internet and from any networked computers until the computer can be cleaned.

    2. Call all of your banks, credit card companies, financial institutions and inform them that you may be a victim of identity theft and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.

    3. From a clean computer, change *all* your online passwords -- for email, for banks, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, online companies, any online forums or groups you belong to.

    Do NOT change passwords or do any transactions while using the infected computer because the attacker will get the new passords and transaction information.
