My computer has been running slow these past few days and I can't open hotmail, MSN messenger and the microsoft website. I am connected wireless with a linksys router through a modem. Another computer plugged in the router works fine. I have Ikarus virus utilities and the windows firewall. Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Here is my log

Also, my girlfriends laptop works fine with the same wireless connection

Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums :).

==========

Can you please do the following.

===============

Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the following, if present:

**MyWebSearch**

The above could appear anywhere within the entry. Be careful not to remove any personal or system software.

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:

** R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - _{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file) **
** R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - _{4D25F926-B9FE-4682-BF72-8AB8210D6D75} - (no file) **

** O2 - BHO: CJava Object - {43F7497C-7687-4DEA-A057-F21BD81BC896} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\msjava32.dll (file missing) **
** O2 - BHO: (no name) - {DF6C9CD1-C88B-4B6A-A326-9D6688DF6945} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ddcyy.dll (file missing) **

** O4 - HKLM..\Run: [405c59ab] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\edcbppnr.dll",b **

** O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - [url]http://edits.mywebsearch.com/toolbar...p=ZKxdm011YYCA[/url] **

** O9 - Extra button: Score Poker - {40B2063F-DB01-4962-BE63-59435C01283C} - C:\PROGRA~1\SCOREP~1\client.exe (file missing) **

** O23 - Service: System Startup Service (SvcProc) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\svcproc.exe (file missing) **

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

Locate and [color=#ff0000]delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to [url=http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html]view system and hidden files/ folders: [/url]

files...

**C:\WINDOWS\system32\[color=#ff0000]edcbppnr.dll**

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode **by doing the following:[list][] Restart your computer[] After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.[] Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.[][/list] Select the first option to run Windows in **Safe Mode hit enter.

-

Reboot.

===============

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, [url=http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html]SpywareBlaster[/url]. If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

===============

Please download ComboFix by sUBs from here or here

  • You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
  • Physically disconnect from the internet.
  • Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
  • Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log
  • Re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix..

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Hi, thanks for the help, but I can't download ComboFix.

It shows the download window, then when its done, it opens another little window that says "copying..." then an error message comes up saying "Cannot copy ComboFix[1]: Access is denied. Make sure that the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use"

Also, do you recommend using AVG Anti-Virus or the one I am currently using: Ikarus?
Thanks for everything

To be honest, I know nothing of Ikarus. AVG is pretty good, as is Avast and AVPE.
When you download Combofix you should only get an option to run or save. Are you able to download anything else from the net?
Did you try both links?
