it would appear that "i've" installed that damn roings engine thing on this computer, zone alarm has stopped working, even tho i've re installed it several times and my dial-up

connection is poorer than the poorest connection that ever was poor, i have to restart the computer if i want to do anything online because after a while it seems to gum up and stop

working

they're probably all unrelated, but just in case, i'm posting a my hjackthis log for some bored computer expert to muse over

any advice would be grand

Unzip HJT into it's own permanent folder before doing anything in order for it to create backups. (Not a temporary folder or directly on the desktop (in a folder on the desktop is fine) & not directly on your hard drive). Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked' :
