My Internet Explorer is taking almost a minute to react and open. When it finally does open, it takes a while to load. Then I get many pop ups and a lot of messages prompting me download a spyware removal software, etc. I have Norton Antivirus 2008, and it notified me that Auto-protect has detected Downloader.MisleadApp and that it blocked it. Then it notified me another two times after it but instead of fully saying "Downloader.MisleadApp", it just said "Downloader". So I tried going through norton to fix this but nothing has worked. I feel the problem is getting worse and worse with time. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. PLEASE help me remove this virus and fix my computer. Thank you in advance...

Please click Here to download HijackThis to your desktop.

Click the Download button. When the Trend Micro HJT install box appears, double click on the HJTInstall.exe. Click on Install.

It will be installed by default here: C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis

A shortcut to the application will also be placed on your Desktop.

The program will open automatically after installation.

You can double-click the icon that was placed on the Desktop to run subsequent HijackThis scans or you can use the icon inside the folder. The folder HijackThis is where you will find the HJT logs that you save. When you use the application to remove anything, you will also find the backup copies made by HJT inside this folder.

Close all other windows except HijackThis.

Click on "Do a system scan and save logfile" When the log pops up in Notepad, copy and paste that file back here.

Do NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
