Mr. Daemon,
1) You had mentioned to make sure Obtain DNS servers automatically is selected; and that was already selected in my TCP/IP settings.
2) I ran SmitRem (previously I had been attempting to run it while I was in administrator mode, and instead I signed into safe mode as I usually do (i.e. like when I run windows in normal mode).
3) I am including the SmitRem, PandaScan Log, and the Hi-Jack-This Log as well.
4) I am still having the slow issues when I try to get my internet started.
Please let me know what you think I should do next. Thank you.
