any experienced help is greatly appreciated. it started with my email and internet media malfunctioning. it all eventually returned to normal. my computer is extremely sluggish, the motherboard overheats, the computer freezes up, and i cannot open certain programs. please help. btw... i ran scans using Spybot, AVG, and Ad-aware. they all cleaned out what they could, and don't currently pick anything up. ------------------------------- Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 7:44:53 PM, on 10/23/2008 Platform: Windows Vista SP1 (WinNT 6.00.1905) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.0
