above the message you sent where you said you made a mistake

[Ried]

I see it now, thanks. :)

All the info you provided needs to be reviewed, I'll get back to you later this evening (EDT) on that.

You mentioned the computer is still slow. Can you expand on that please? Slow to boot, slow to open programs, internet browsing is slow?

[stevennashy]

sorry yeah i meant slow at running programs the internet is fine the boot up is average but when i click on programs like internet explorer or start menu it takes about 5 seconds to respond it might just be too many programs installed im removing some now i will fill you in tommorrow with the speeds next time we talk unless you got a different opinion

[Ried]

Disabling unnecessary startups is always a good idea. combofix also cleared your temp and temp internet caches, and prefetch so it may just be a little slow until those caches rebuild.

[stevennashy]

[Ried]

To help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs if you do not already have them:

WOT, Web of Trust, warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites:

• Green to go
• Yellow for caution
• Red to stop

WOT has an addon available for both Firefox and IE.

SpywareBlaster 4.0 to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place. Install & update SpywareBlaster with the latest definitions. After you have updated, click the button - enable protection for all unprotected items.

• It will block any bad ActiveX from running in Internet Explorer and Firefox if it's listed in their database (which you should update frequently). To view their database and list of restricted sites, launch the program and click on each of the tabs on the main display page.

Update, and scan with your onboard Anti Malware and Anti Virus programs regularly. Without regular updates you will not be protected when new malicious programs are released.
