Hey Judy!
Thanks for your help, you guys are great!
I do know the domain kwplymouth.com and I did not add those trusted zones. I'm wondering if the realtors office added that to this computer. Either way I never go there, so I can remove them from the trusted zones.
I went into msconfig and checked normal startup on the General tab which looks like it added all the check marks on the start up tab. The systems32 folder still pops up when I reboot, so I may still be missing something.
I disabled QuickTime task, CCleaner from the startup menu. I went into the HP Software update program and it doesn't give me an option to remove it from start up. When I look at C:/document & settings/all users/startmenu/programs/startup file, I see a HP Digital Imaging Monitor there. should I just remove that from the start up menu? I went into this file and removed Microsoft Office and Device Detector because I couldn't determine how to do it in the applications.
This Olympus Device Detector/Media Player is not something I use so I was going to delete it. However, I don't see it when I look into the add/delete programs, or even in the start/programs area. If I removed the files from the C:/program folder, will it delete the application off my system?
I deleted the Trojan Hunter files because I only had an evaluation copy and it has expired.
Yesterday, IE would open, but it wouldn't take me anywhere, it would just keep looping without ever opening anything, nor give me any error pages. Now today I got to your website from IE, so whatever was causing that problem seemed to go away.
My system is 2.12GHz with 448Mb of RAM. I've rebooted a few times today after removing those programs and it is working better. I've attached a new log for your review. My husband uses this laptop and hasn't loaded any new programs. The problem started about 6 months ago and just gradually got worse. I got tired of hearing him whine (and felt sorry for him), so I told him to give it to me and I would try and get it working again. (His early Christmas gift!)
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
