Post #1
I have an HP dv1000 Notebook which runs Windows XP Home sp2. A few months ago I got a few viruses but I am not sure which ones because the anti-virus programs had cleaned them out but a log was never saved before rebooting the system. According to Panda Anti-Virus 2008, which is what I have on my system now, my system is supposedly clean. I've run several anti-malware programs and other PC aide type programs and followed the instructions. My problem is, is that my system is still running super slow, my display hardware is unable to connect or launch, and drivers still move or disappear. Below is my hijack this log. Please let me know what to do if you see anything out of the ordinary. Thanks so much!
