Hi, im really glad im able to be able to get help about this stuff, if you can help me i'd greatly appreciate it.
Im running Windows 2000, i have microsoft anti-spyware for spyware removal, and Mcafee Real-time protection. I also have ad-aware, and i have spybot search and destroy. I thought my computer was pretty clean but i guess not. I've been running this combination for quite some time i havent had any problems. Now its become really bad... i have ad yieldmanager (i think thats what its called) popping up, and i did have the winfixer thing pop up. now my computer freezes. its weird. i can hear my computer stop whirring and it sounds like it just shuts down. then sometimes it'll "come back to life." sometimes when this freeze happens my screen will turn off come back on and then my computer will come up with this screen with a bunch of lines that are all chopped up. i cant do anything from that, and i'll have to restart it. i just downloaded hijack this... and i have been using mozilla firefox for quite some time. i thought i could keep my os pretty clean. but sometimes when i boot up, it says it cant detect my os, OR it'll say the following have been updated and it will tell me disk 4 is updated or something like that. My hijack this log is:
