    Hi Angel

    People do look at HJT logs here - but please follow the spy/malware removal thread at the top before posting your HJT log on here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=133269

    Ensure that your Operating system is fully updated etc etc as per thread before posting your log.

    have you checked what processes in task manager are slowing you down - When you post also state any problems you are actually having pop-ups, pages hijacked, strange messages what is slow typing - the internet etc...

    If concerned do not do any financial stuff via the internet on your pc, till you know your system is clean
    Rich people save then spend.
    Poor people spend then save what's left.

    I use sites such as these

    http://www.processlibrary.com/

    http://www.castlecops.com/StartupList.html

    to search for the file names in my HiJackThis Logs. They both give you advice on file and whether it should or shouldn't be a problem.

    You can usually tell from the file paths, to rule out programs that you know you do use.

    Run HijackThis, click on 'run a system scan & save a logfile' when the logfile opens, copy the contents and paste it here http://www.hijackthis.de/
