Can't get rid of these processes,they slow the computer right down.

It occured straight after I formatted the hard drive, as soon as I connected to the internet, without even going to any sites!

Unable to get Norton updates because the internet is running so slowly.

Tried HijackThis in safe mode with System Restore turned off, also ran AdAware & Spybot S&D...
