My browser is getting slower!!

[wavygravy63]

My browser seems slower latley. I use a D-Link wirless G router and my connection keeps changing from the normal 54 Mbps down to 24 at times. When I click on Internet Exdplorer it seems to take longer to startup. All the other programs seem to run normal. I use spybot search and destroy as well as Ad-Adware SE, and even just bought XoftspySE. They all found some problems then I ran PC Pitstop Optimize. After all that it still seems slower. Here is a copy of mt HJT log, hope you can help.

My browser seems slower latley. I use a D-Link wirless G router and my connection keeps changing from the normal 54 Mbps down to 24 at times. When I click on Internet Exdplorer it seems to take longer to startup.

Could be any number of things responsible for the slowdown. At very quick glance, your HJT log looks ok (though HJT was run improperly).
A combination of Norton and IE7 could contribute to slowdown

To rule out malware, please have a look at the linky below and follow the steps to obtain a HijackThis Scanlog, a Kaspersky Online Scanlog and an AVG Anti-Spyware Scanlog and please submit them for us.

ATTENTION: Read Me Before Posting For Help!!

Hang in there for Judy to check in and have a peek at the logs. She can give you some tips that will hopefully get you back up to speed.

Best Luck

PP is right about your HJT scan.To me it almost looks parsed,also you should never run the scan from a temp file.Judy will be the best to guide you through the straight and narrow of processes.

I think it looks parsed..or something too phoenix. Did you have word wrap ON when you saved it wavy? I, like PP, don't see anything off hand in the log, though it IS hard to read too.
Give us the other info from PP's link, including the AVG Anti-spy log AND a new HJT run from it's own file. Follow PP's instructions on the proper location of HJT.
