Hello Everyone,

I had the vicious and relentless Anti-Virus Pro malware on my computer. I have Trojan Remover and Vipre on my computer for protection. It eventually locked me out of all my programs 100%. I found two bad things popping up in my registry ID’d by TR before I was locked out completely. I ran Hijack this in safe mode and removed them ( at the time I didnt realize what a no-no this was). When I booted back up I was prevented from accessing the Net at all. Somehow I had removed my wireless network adaptor. So I brought it in, and had a local place clean and re-install my adaptor (at this time I didn’t know what I had done). They found no viruses or malware. Got home, it ran ok until the first time I rebooted. Now whenever I open up IE, my CPU usage goes thru the roof and I am slower than molasses. Here is my latest Hijack This Notepad report, ran in regular mode.

Any advice? Thanks for any help folks!
