I belive that I have secret spyware in my computer. When I run full scan in adaware se I get nuthing. also in spybot search and destroy. but when i go on websites like google or ebay i get adaware and spyware installed in bulks. bc i have zone alarm and it asks me if programs have access to go to the internet it shows me all these pop ups asking me if i want salm.exe and other spy/adaware programs to access the internet. These programs come back on a daily bases.
Also my computer is kind of sluginsh even after my computer scans for no spy ware and some errors come up. I just know that i have some spyware installed that sb s&d adn adaware se don't pick up bc it isn't acting liek it should. I don't know if this might help but all this is happening right after a nice clean reformat. Please Help me on my mystery spyware. Thank you
Please go here & install ALL updates required for your system.
Download HijackThis from here & unzip it into it's own, permanent folder, (Not a temporary folder or the desktop (in a folder on the desktop is fine) & not directly on your hard drive). If you prefer an executable file, then download from here.
If you have anything disabled in MsConfig, please re-enable it/them.
Start HJT & press the scan button. When the scan is finished the scan button will change to save. Save the log to a text file, copy the entire contents of the text file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET. Most of what is there is necessary for the running of your system.
Hey im not sure i installed it right bc you said not to save it directly to my hardisk what i did was downlaoded the executable file and then put it in my folder. tell me if that is good or i should do it a different way. Any way i did the scan any way. Here:

How you have HJT is fine. See you are running two firewalls. You will find that only one of them will actually work though, so you should disable\uninstall one of them.
Scan with hijackthis and tick the boxes next to all the following entries, then close all browser and explorer windows, and hit the "Fix checked" button.

That's all I can see.
Thanks alot!!! I also read your link that says READ THIS and then it directed me to the security tab of my internet explorer. To my surprise it was set to low it usually is set to medium but it wasn't i set it back to medium.
Any way after i did the hijack thing i restarted. When i restarted all my start up programs started up and everything (aim zone alarm, norton and otehr stuff liek that) ; i have the explorer text area on my start menu bar thing and i have this post url in it so i have easy access to it. so when i rebooted and got to my desktop and everything loaded i clicked on it to post here and everything froze i can't click on my start buton or anything.(it seemed like something else was loading but all my programs already laoded and opening up internet explorer should take up that much memory on 768 mb of ram.) Like 15 seconds later the start menu would flash up really quick and then internet explorer would come up. This has been happening everythime i restart since all this funny business has been going on. This is why I think i got some secret spyware. Also at different times it would just freeze up like that. Please Help me. Thank you for you time I realy appreciate it.
Hey im back! There were some comlpications at first when i ran silent runner. I clicked run but nuthing immediatly came up so then i went and click it again and it said this probably poped up bc you are probably infected so contact some person to help yuo fix the problem but then behind it another popup came and it said all done... and the file has been saved in... so then i clicked it one more time and it didn't say i was infected but went straight to all done..... (idk if that helps but i am just trying to give as much information as i can)
Anyway here is the saved file.

Only thing I see there is BigFix. According to the following, it is only meant to be started manually because it hogs the resources.
From sysinfo
BigFix can automatically download and read technical support information provided by computer and software manufacturers and other technical support experts (published in the form of Fixlet® Messages) and can automatically check your computer for bugs, configuration conflicts, and security holes. Should only be started manually as it's a resource hog
You can fix it with hijackthis by checking;
O4 - Global Startup: BigFix.lnk = C:\Program Files\BigFix\BigFix.exe
Would not hurt to fix this one too;
O4 - Global Startup: LimeWire 4.2.3 Pro.lnk = C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire 4.2.3 Pro\LimeWire.exe
