Post #1
My computer has been running very slowly recently, so I downloaded HiJackThis and did a scan. Now I need help figuring out what it is that I should delete. Thanks for your help.

when I tried to remove Kazaa a window titled RUNDLL popped up and said this:

Error Loading C:\WINDOWS\System32\cd_clint.dll
The specified module could not be found.

I haven't used Kazaa for over a year and remember trying to delete it before. My computer is still very slow to start up and still too slow to play any music, which was my biggest problem before.

Thanks for your help.

Now that you have Spybot, Start Spybot click mode make sure that advanced mode is checked. Click tools>system startup to the right is a double arrow bar click it to expand. Now clicking on the value you will get a discription of command line. Remove the green check mark on the ones in the database status that are not "Typically not required" Should you decide that you need or want them just place a checkmark back in the box. Any of unknown status can be unchecked one by one, rechecking anytime you think you need them reboot, this completes the change.
