Unknown

I ran spysweeper, adaware, and spybot several times, and got rid of all the garbage, except for the searchlocate bug. Thank you very much for any help!!!

Thanks a bunch. Fortunately the browser is no longer hijacked, but the internet connection is still relatively slow. Here's the new log
Thanks again!

I don't see anything that could be causing the slowness. Maybe its your ISP?

Fix those entries and you should be all set.
