Click here to download Ad-Aware SE and install. Before scanning click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. Click "Start", select "Perform Full System scan" and "Next" to start the scan. When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "Next". The bad files will be listed, right click the pane and click "Select all objects" - this will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "Next" again and click "OK" at the prompt "# objects will be removed. Continue?".

Reboot when done. Rescan with HJT and post a new log here so that any remnants can be removed manually.

First of all, thanks for taking the time to help me. It took quite a while, but the scan finally finished. There were items that it could not remove until after reboot, so I restarted and ran the scan again. Here is the new HJT log.

Reboot when done - how is it running now?
Post #7
Well, my internet works now! No redirects, but still very very slow in booting up and opening IE, programs, etc. Is it possible I have a virus? I purchased Norton and tried to install it earlier, but it froze up my machine. Rebooted and tried to reinstall but couldn't. Maybe now that you fixed all the other stuff it will let me install. Any other suggestions? I really appreciate all your help. Thanks!
