    This is my first time posting to this board, so I apologize in advance for anything stupid I say or do!

    I went through the READ & RUN ME FIRST proceedures in the Malware forum, but I am still having some of the same problems.

    I am running a Dell Dimension 8200, Pentium 4 1.7GHz, 512 MB RAM, Win XP Professional v2002 sp3.

    The issue that is most frustrating is that the computer will freeze up for several minutes at a time at various times during the day. It doesn't seem to matter how many windows I have open or what programs I am using. It also seems to get slower as the day progresses.

    I have attached the log files from the different tests that were run according to RRMF. RootRepeal threw an exception, 0x004eca19 and failed to complete.

    I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!

    Welcome to Major Geeks!
    As stated at the beginning of the READ & RUN ME, it is not always malware and often it is PC specs. You have an older slower processor and you do not have enough memory to properly run Windows XP SP3 and other software you are running. Your logs showed
    Code:
    Processor x86 Family 15 Model 1 Stepping 2 GenuineIntel ~1694 Mhz  
    Total Physical Memory 512.00 MB 
    Available Physical Memory 111.32 MB
    The absolute minimum we recommend is twice what you have or 1 GB but 2GB is highly recommended for better performance.

    The below fairly recent software additions, complicated matters for you
