I'm sure everyone is very capable on here however if I can request LDTATE I would appreciate it as he helped me out tremendously in the past. My computer is running very very slow the last week or so , and I have done all the basic things (clear temp files , cache, and so on). I have also noticed that I have 3 iexplore items in my taskmanager, the computer seems to be slowing down by the day . Please help me Thank You Sam

That just shows that you have 3 IE browser windows open.
LD can you please just take a look at my latest Hijackthis log , as my computer is really operating slow. Thank You
