Browser and Downloads have become awfully slow
I am using McAfee antivirus and internet suit for my Dell XPS M1330 laptop running on Vista Home premium.

since 2 days, browser is opening very slowly ( I am on Firefox3.0) and also the downloads are not happening. It has taken an awful 25 min to open this site and write this.

My windows defender is down and says an unauthorized program is stopping it to run suggesting me to restart the computer and manually remove.

i have downloaded the Hijack this and have generated the log. can some one help me suggesting my further action.

my internet usage is pretty open that i download freewares, songs and use Bittorrent.

requesting you kind help and suggestive action.

cheers,
Sravan
