Hi -
I've been trying to fix this on my own with no luck. I've run several virus scans, but the computer freezes, restarts, or says "virtual memory too low." It is taking me minutes to get a response from any clicks on the desktop or on the internet. Housecall took over 6 hours to run and then it kept freezing. I have a wireless connection, so bandwidth shouldn't be a problem --- but I'm not sure what's going on.
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance!!!!

Hi and welcome to Daniweb forums :).

Please go here & install ALL critical updates required for your system, including service pack 1a for both XP and IE6.
Most malware is designed to attack unpatched XP systems - exploiting the available 'holes' - and can bypass third-party protection on an unpatched system. The most that can be done with an unpatched system is put a temporary bandage on it. Your system can potentially be reinfected within minutes of cleaning it.
Post back a new hijackthis log after rebooting your system.

Thank you for reviewing my HJT log. I tried to install the updates, during the XP 1a install, I got the following that could not be installed "Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)" --- other than that, they installed.
Here is my new scan.
Thank you in advance for your help.

SP1 for XP is not installed either. This is a must!

IE6 with SP1 should read like this;
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)

Your log reads this;
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2600.0000)

If Service Pack one was really installed, the version number would have changed accordingly.

You need to get Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool installed in order to get the service packs :).
