Does that help any?

Checked - it's 802.11b

I'm not sure - where would I go specifically to check for that? It's a built-in wireless card, so I'd assume there'd be a way to check somewhere around device manager

Apparently someone I have never met has taken a password of mine from a popular writing site. I am not really sure what is going on, but I have run a few scanners and it hasn't detected anything....

She recently informed me, for some reason, while browsing the internet she gets what sounds to be the start of an ad or a pop up, but it doesn't come up. The occurrence makes her computer run very...

Well now I don't know who is to blame.

The system restore worked, as said, so I tried to re-trace my steps to see what happened. Updating Java was no problem. Tried to disk defrag again, and we...

Well, I did a system restore, and it's working perfectly. So *something* had to cause it.

Sorry. Most sites have the 1.99 version.

I recently inherited my father's old laptop (vaio, about three years old), and all has been going well so far... up until a few hours ago. I decided today to do a defrag since I figured it could need...

Unfortunately, I do not. Combofix stalled when I tried to save the logfile despite me not clicking or doing any other action.

Alright, here's the combofix log:

Running close to the same, perhaps a hair faster. Still noticing the same issue with svchost, and I'm going to do another virus scan just to be sure. Here's the logfile:

About two weeks ago, I noticed my Sony VAIO Laptop (five years old, runs on Windows XP) would run SVChost.exe to 99 processes, running about 4,000 k of space, and was under the user name "Network...

ah, okay, got it. NM

Which one should do that, my friend with his computer, or me with my computer?

OK, well, I got him to get hijackthis and send me a logfile. Here's the logfile from *his* computer. Anything wrong with it?

Nope. To be honest, I just contacted a very trustworthy friend of mine who's good with computers and he tried to do remote assistance with my computer, but it didn't work (never has, oddly enough)....

Also, I should say those add-ons were from Firefox directly, so they shouldn't be a problem

I own Firefox 3.0 on an XP system, recently added some ad-ons that help protect my computer when I browse it. So a few minutes ago I got a message stating I was attempting to log in a hotmail account...

A friend of mine IM's me today and tells me IE, though closed, will run a pop-up every minute or so. Initially, he tried downloading something from limewire and I guess he tried to get the wrong song...

I ran hijack this and saved the report it spit out. Didn't do anything more since I can't read these logfiles as of yet:
