  • Uninstall list.
  • A new HijackThis Log.
Hello and thank you for your reply, i'm sorry it takes me to reply to this thread myself because i'm at work from daytime to night on weekdays. As a first step here is the uninstall list from Hijakthis that you asked me to perform. Tomorrow i will do the mbam and post th results for you. BTW my computer is not slow when i move from folder to folder but startup takes unusually long and virus scans take forever ( over 2 hours sometime), so its like everytime the computer must process something it cant do it quickly.
