My PC has been experiencing severe slowdown and pop-ups. DawgHunter suggested here as he had great success in 2006. I haved followed Julio's 8-step process (caught many invaders and squashed them thanks to sites suggested).

I attach 3 files as recommended and await any comments offered.

Thanks for a great site.

OK, thanks

I take it this must be the concensus due to the amount of views I see.

I appreciate the help, and thanks again.

Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked. Close HiJackThisand reboot into Safe Mode:
Start> Run> type in 'msconfig' without quotes>enter> Selective Startup> Startup tab> UNCHECK everything EXCEPT AVG and ZoneAlarm> Apply> OK

Go to the Control Panel? Add/Remove Programs> Uninstall Adobe v6.

Right click on Start> Explore> Windows> System> do a right click> delete on any of the files in the O4 Policy Explorer entries above, such as system\ewfwn.exe and . system\tonhfwdfs.exe. Use the entries above for the list.

When through, Reboot into Normal Mode. You will get a nag message that you can close after checking 'don't show this message again'. You must stay in Selective Sartup.

Please disable the ZoneAlarm firewall when through, rescan with HijackThis and attach the log.

I suggest you consider getting the FoxIt Reader instead of updating to Adobe v9. It handles PDF files the same and does not have the bloat that comes with the Adobe product:
