Post #1
Downloaded and ran HJT because I believe I may have a trojan running on my system. Symantic Antivirus popped a Trojan Infection meesage the other day and said that it has quarantined the Trojan. However, my system has been running very slow ever since- especially my internet connection. I also run Webroo Spy Sweeper (full version).

Thanks very much,
Steve Lucas

Thanks for following up on this. My system actually got so bad that I ended up re-building it over the weekend. Please consider this issue resolved. Thanks again, Steve
Post #4
Glad to hear the problem is resolved. :)

I suggest that you get these programs to help keep the computer clean:

Spyware Blaster - Blocks bad ActiveX items from installing on your computer. Spyware Blaster runs silently in the background.
ie-spyad - Puts over 12,000 bad URLs into your restricted sites for Internet Explorer.
Google Toolbar - Blocks many unwanted pop-ups in Internet Explorer.
Firefox - 'Safer' alternative to the Internet Explorer web browser.

AVG AntiVirus - Free antivirus program if you currently are not using one.
ZoneAlarm - Free firewall program if you currently are not using one.

Here are two very good and free malware scanners:

Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4
AdAware SE v1.06
Set-up Instructions for Spybot S&D; and Adaware SE

If you have them already, check to make sure that they are the newest version.

Update these regularly.

You may also want to read "How did I get infected in the first place" to learn how to better secure your computer.

Be sure to keep Windows and your Anti-virus updated.
