desperate (well kind of)

[Troncoso]

okay, so, for a while now, my computer has not been running so good. especially the internet. it wont load most sites and is extremely slow. i have a feeling it has to do with my careless downloading spree.either way, for the past 3-4 days me and my mom have been running adware scans, virus scans, spyware, everything. we find infections and viruses and we get rid of them and whatnot, but that doesnt help anything. so i went ahead and did a disk cleanup and a defrag. nothing. we go scan again and we have problems popping up and we havent even used the internet.....any solutions?

Post a HijackThis log:

Please download the HijackThis installer from http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe.

Run the installer and choose Install, indicating that you accept the licence agreement. The installer will place a shortcut on your desktop and launch HijackThis.

Click Do a system scan and save a logfile

When the Notepad window opens choose Edit -> Select All to select the entire log, and copy and paste the log into a reply post.
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

You seem to have posted a log from the same PC at http://www.computerforum.com/120686-automatic-update-problem.html. There's no point in trying to deal with the same problems in two different threads, I will close this one.
