Ok, I have Norton Internet Security, CCleaner, Adware SE, Spybot. None of those caught this. What regimine is a good one to keep this machine from running so confounded slow? Programs cheap enough to be able to install on 2 lap tops and 3 desk tops?
Welcome to the forum.
That virus scan isn't recommended.
If they also sell software, it may be in their interest to give a few "false positives" in order to attempt to sell you something.
Care to submit a HijackThis! log for inspection?
Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.
Download HijackThis into this folder.
Run it from that folder.
Click "Do a system scan and save a log file".
DO NOT "FIX" ANYTHING WITH IT YET!!!
FIXING THE WRONG THING COULD RENDER YOUR SYSTEM INOPERABLE!!!
Reply to this thread, and "copy/paste" the ENTIRE CONTENTS of the log file into this thread.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune. Download - ATF Cleaner»
This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
Close the program.
Note: A temporary side-effect of running ATF cleaner is that the PC may boot a bit slower for the first two, or three times after running it.
This is normal.
"Normal" boot-up time will return after a few reboots.
CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!
