Hi all. Granted there is a lot to this log, this machine is my work computer (a Thinkpad T60) and we run a couple of really screwy ASP.net based apps.
However I recently started getting huge slowdowns, especially with connection speed and latency, and the whole system hangs about 5 times every 10 minutes, completely hangs for about 30 seconds. Nothing in the system logs about the error.
-NOTE: the following bracketed paragraph no longer is an issue, I found the solution, see my next post for details, but any help on my log would still be great!

My hijack log is below, and I VERY much appreciate the help!

Sorry to answer my own post so fast, but it seems that the execuatable file I mentioned above with the brown dog icon is actually safe, it is part of the TrendMicro OfficeScan app and is intended to run in anti-hack mode. I wanted to post this instead of just editing it out of my post in case anyone else had the same issue. I still have the huge hangs and slowdown though, so any help on my log would be great!

Sorry for the delay :oops:
If you still need help and haven't posted at another forum.

Download and install AVG Anti-Spyware (ewido). Then scan and save the log from the scan.
Instructions and download link can be found here.

Then run this online scan. Save the report.

Rescan with hijackthis and post a new log with the results from AVG .
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Also is the PC owned by you or the company you work for?
