Hi, Up until about 2 - 3 weeks ago my internet performance was great. I have Verizon FIOS and my connection speed is approx 5 Megs. My problem is that when I open a new internet window, it takes minutes for the window open and load. Processor sounds like it is working like a maniac. The actual loading of the page seems very fast, but getting to that point is unbearably slow. It's also extremely slow when I click on a link that opens a new internet window. I've run about 4 different spyware programs and found nothing that helps this issue.
I have AVG Fee Edition Virus protection. About the same time as I noticed the dragging performance, I got a notice from my daily scan that some files had changed. I looked at my Event History Log and saw changes to some files. I've exported and listed the info from that day here. I'm assuming the issues are related. I looked at the properties of each of the files listed and noticed that the only one that shows that it has been modified at this time was "hosts" in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc .

I also included a HijackThis Log file that I ran this morning. I don't know if it will help or not.
