    Hello,
    I finally came to the realization that my computer was having some real problems and was most likely infected with a nasty virus. I went to this website and have followed all of the instuctions on the "Basic Spyware removal" page. Those programs found two viruses and delt with them (deleted one/quarantined the other). However, it still seems that my internet connection is running WAY slower than it should be. My guess is that even though i've gotten rid of the pop-ups and what not, i still haven't solved the entire problem. I ran a HiJack This scan and am posting the log below. If you want, I will be more than happy to post any of the logs for the scans I have already run.
    Thank you so much in advance.

    sorry that I posted the HijackThis scan inline, i won't do that again. I've attached it this time.
    Also, alittle bit more info..
    - I'm on a Dell Inspiron 5150, running Windows XP.
    - I primarily use the firefox browser but also IE
    - The first time I ran Ad-aware it got caught up and stalled during the "Deep scanning of files", but after removing a trojan using one of the other programs, the scan now runs to completion and reports no problems.
    - I also ran bitdefender and RAV virus online scans (all in safe mode) and no problems were reported.

    I do not see any real major problems in your log. But below are some items to fix.

    If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
    For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

    Run HijackThis and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://hsremove.com/done.htm
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)
    O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\msjava.dll (file missing)
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Sun Java Console - {08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAA5-00401C608501} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\msjava.dll (file missing)
    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)
    O9 - Extra button: WeatherBug - {AF6CABAB-61F9-4f12-A198-B7D41EF1CB52} - C:\Program Files\AWS\WeatherBug\Weather.exe (file missing) (HKCU)

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.
