Hi...My computer seems slow and hangs sometimes. I have DSL. I was wondering if someone could look at my hijackthis log and tell me if i have a virus. Thanks!

You can cut and past the text log file from HijackThis in to the web page at Help2Go Detective and it can quickly tell you more about it and what threats it finds faster than posting it here and having a few people spend their time looking at it. It might take several days before anyone has the time and they could miss a lot of things. Such postings here are not "to tell you if you might have something", but to provide detailed information when all else has failed to find the cause of a specific problem".

In addition, your Anti-Virus scans (including free online scans) and ADware/Spyware scanners can also do a better job of finding such Malware and removing it. HighjackThis logs do not even look at most of the ways such Virus/Worm/Trojan and ADware/Spyware type of Malware can be loaded into your system. It is only concerned with those that Hijack the Internet Explorer browser.

So until all such standard scanner software has been installed, updated and ran several times, it is a waste of time to even look at a HijackThis log. And there are web sites with people that do nothing but just that and know how to spot the unusual and new problems not picked up by Anti-Virus programs or the standard scanners.
