tick these in hijackthis and fix

I would suggest replacing spybot, mse, and superantispyware with avast and malwarebytes as you are low on ram for the programs running at startup, and run startuplite and accept all it's changes.

Do you use binatone internet phone, messenger, quickbooks?

melmar_2

i have fixed those in hijack,
i havent used quickbooks yet so that can go,i dont use binatone as much as i used to now so i can remove that messenger now and again
and i will replace spyware with what you recommend,thanks
what is startuplite,please do i just put in browser and find download,
that picture is there,haunting me,lol,will it go when i restart
and thank you for all of this

uninstall superantispyware, mse, spybot, reboot and install avast, malwarebytes, register avast by right clicking on the icon near the clock, update malwarebytes, do a full scan.
