I'm not sure what is wrong. The machine is running really slow. I did everything in the self help folder. Will someone please look at these logs?

Thank you

Howdy Rugar, No infection showing in this HijackThis log, and that AVG log reflects only harmless cookies found. How long have you have you had Ad-Aware with it's newer added services installed along with AVG and the other protective software here? Another quicker to answer question is do you have/had a Lexmark printer on this system - a file suggesting Lexmark here is not a very well known one.

Thanks Jintan, Thank you for looking at this log. I just recently performed all the tasks in the "Do this before posting self help". I have only had the computer up and running for about a month. Yes I have a Lexmark printer. The computer was running real slow, I installed another 256M of ram and its working much better now. Thanks again for looking at the log for me, I know you guys are busy. Rugar
