Computer running slow and random Pop-ups

Unknown

My computer has been running slower than usual for the last week or so and random pop-ups have been appearing while online. I have ran SB1.3, adaware se, Microsoft anti spyware, and have Bitdefender free edition, and Mcafee 2004 on my computer. BIt defender comes up with Adware.Wheaterbug and says it is deleated, but the update fails, and returns every scan.

This is my first post so I hope this is right.

Here is my hijackthis log.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't see any serious malware in your log.

You can uninstall Viewpoint, but that's about all I see.

Your computer is certainly slow because you are running two antivirus programs. Just pick one and get rid of the other one. It will help speed things up tremendously.

Zebtous

Thanks. Any suggestions on which one to uninstall?

Buckeye_Sam

Anything that references Viewpoint, they're all bad.

Zebtous

Gotcha,

and by the way, which anti-virus do you suggest I keep?

Buckeye_Sam

I don't know much about Bit Defender, so couldn't tell you. Mcafee is so so. Just stay away from Norton.

Zebtous

Thanks.
