Up a gum tree

Hi, hope someone can help......
I've been ploughing through the Malware Removal guide all afternoon. Got to (5) Counterspy and everything slowed when trying to download the latest definitions. Then the screen froze. Then on restart, safe mode wouldn't work, got stuck after a long list of files, and then, after a power down, and restart I got the dreaded blue 'stop error screen'
which meant a new hard drive last time it happened

Also, any reason why some of these programs have taken so long to download this afternoon, down to a few Kb speed on my broadband

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks Kestrel!

Thanks for the welcome!
I have copied this original posting to the Malware forum

Another query, can this thread be closed so my main problem gets some attention??
