Lately my computer has been running EXTREMELY SLOW. I don't know what's causing the problem and i think it may be a virus or some sort of malware

also, i cannot open my windows firewall settings and cannot turn it off it gives me an error: "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall Settings."

For IE i cannot put my internet security setting below medium

i have a process called vsmon.exe which says i cant close it

Also i try to go to a website and it says please enable cookies, but cookies are enabled.

heres my hijackthis log
