I ran adaware/spybot and my home computer is still extremley slow. The internet acts as if it's connected to a 38k modem. My father thought it'd be a good idea to reboot the computer, even though that did nothing. I ran hijack this and this is the system log for it. Is there anything here that i should delete? If this doesn't work what else should i try? I've run a number of virus scans and stuff comes up but it can never be deleted.
Thanks,
Jillian

Can you move hjt to a permenant folder please (i.e. one not in a temp directory). Otherwise any backups may be wiped out.
Then reboot and post a new log, making sure all other windows are closed.

Incidentally are you running all your scans from an administrator account?
