I apologise in advance if I haven't followed the 'read this before posting hijack this log file' instructions completely.
I've scanned my computer with Windows Defender [which found nothing harmful!],Spybot Search and Destroy,Ad-Aware SE Personal,AVG and ewido anti-malware. I then did a Hijack This scan and looked up the results in several databases and online analyzers and fixed about 6 items that were definetely nasty.I'm just not sure about a few.
The main ones are 08 GoogleToolbar-related items, do I need GoogleToolbar at all? Does it do anything useful? If not how can I get rid of it completely or do I just fix the items with HiJack This?
Other ones are 017 items which I have Googled the ip numbers and found to be sites that I HAVE visited before,but should they be in the log file? What would happen if I fixed these?
Finally there is a 09 and a 016 item that has something to do with TrendMicro, am I right in thinking TrendMicro is some sore of antivirus program? I think I can remember getting it but it has since been out of use/expired.
I will attach the sections of my log file that I'm unsure about and hopefully someone can clear up which I need to fix.
Also I keep getting a message saying 'A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort this script?' I have been clicking Yes.
Thankyou
