Hi bluzdude, It also looks like you've got a Winsock hijacker,to remove this you need to download and run LSP-fix: 1.Check I know what I'm doing. 2.Select all instances of dolsp.dll and aklsp.dll. 3.Move these instances to the remove pane. 4.Click Finished. 5.Restart your computer. 5.After restarting, delete c:\windows\system32\dolsp.dll and c:\windows\system32\aklsp.dll.

Hi jansherry, I need you to post a Hijack This! log in the Hijack This Logs Section of this forum. For instructions on how to post a Hijack This log see this thread. Once you post a HijackThis log, I or another person on the HJT Team or above will merge the topics.

Quoted from Microsoft's Security Bulletin MS04-011: I think you should ignore those popups. The Windows LSASS vulnerability is not a problem with Windows XP SP2.

I also found details here.

You can leave it alone. Your log is clean. The Windows LSASS vulnerability, which is a buffer overrun that allows remote code execution and enables an attacker to gain full control of the affected system. This vulnerability is discussed in detail here. Running Windows Update should install this critical update and hopefully stop those popups. TJ

Hi bar5, Open Hijack This!, run a scan and check these items: The following item is a restriction to your computer. If you did not set this entry with Spybot or another protection program, or if your administrator did not set it, then check this item . O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present Now please close all windows and browsers, except HijackThis, and have HijackThis fix them by clicking on Fix Checked. Apart from that entry, your log looks clean. TJ

Your log looks clean. I moved this topic because the problem isn't malware related anymore. When did this problem start happening? What did you install before the problem started? Is this the only thing that is taking a while to load? How long is it taking? Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card installed? TJ

Right-click on its icon in the taskbar. 2. Select Unload Ad-watch. 3.Then, go to Ad-Watch Settings and uncheck Load Ad-Watch on Windows start up. I also noticed that you are running Microsoft Anti-Spyware and you should also temporarily disable it because it may also interfere while fixing items. To disable Microsoft Anti-Spyware: 1. Right click on its icon in the taskbar. 2.Click Shutdown Microsoft AntiSpyware. Then , open Hijack T
