Hey there

Well, I've been hijacked I think....and I have tried all the free antivirus/spy/adware-programs, but they are only slowing my computer down and not really helping me at all. So, I was hoping that I could get some help from u guys to fix my damn' computer. The problem is obvious: I have a lot of programs running extremely slowly because some malicious software is running in the background/system. My running processes looks very strange, but I don't know how to deal with the problems, so plz help....help is extremely appreciated! :)

Computer Specs:

Intel 2.8 Ghz
Windows XP SP2
768 MB Ram
80 GB Hd
Gforce FX 6200 AGP

The symptoms you described plus the included HijackThis scan are classic signs of a persistent infection that on-access scanners running inside Windows often miss. Two practical, safe options are available: perform an offline rescue/targeted removal, or back up personal data and do a full reinstall. is right that a wipe-and-reinstall is often the fastest reliable fix; below is a safer, step-by-step way to approach this so personal files are preserved and reinfection is avoided.

Back up only user-created data to an external drive (documents, pictures, email archives, exported browser bookmarks). Do not copy programs, installers, or unknown executables. Before reconnecting backups to the cleaned system, scan them on a separate, clean machine or with a rescue disk to avoid reintroducing malware. Keep a note of installed programs and product keys so you can reinstall from known-good media.

Do an offline scan first: create a bootable rescue disk/USB and run a full update+scan to remove kernel/rootkit-level threats. After that, boot Windows in Safe Mode and run specialized scanners (for rootkits and PUPs), then run an in‑Windows antimalware sweep with a reputable tool. Good, maintained rescue and scanner sources include Kaspersky Rescue Disk and Malwarebytes; also use Microsoft Safety Scanner for a secondary check.

If performance or integrity still looks compromised after thorough cleaning, proceed with a clean reinstall of the OS and applications. When restoring data, copy only user files, and scan them again. Because Windows XP is no longer supported, plan an upgrade to a supported OS once the system is back to normal to avoid repeated infections.

Avoid blindly applying "fix" buttons from logs or using powerful removal tools without guidance; targeted removals work best when the operator understands each change.

save the files and folders that you can onto an external hard drive and then use the master DVD to wipe the slate clean and hopefully it will not be to much of a problem.
