Hello, I was hoping you would be able to help me. I have Windows Vista and have been having some problems with my computer. It has been slower then usual and recently it would start blinking rapidly a million times so I would have to log off and log back on to make it stop. I realized that I had a bad program that I already deleted (regpowercleaner). I have deleted the registry keys and cleared it off my task manger, etc. But my internet is still running slower than usual. So I did a Disk clean up and deleted my browser history. Then I downloaded spyware doctor and did a scan and was indicated I have 251 infections and 6 threats (trackware.tracking cookies!rem (91 infections), application.trackingcookies (107), spyware.trusthound!rem (12), adware.advertising (34), spyware.known_bad_sites (3), adware,lop!rem (4)). I took your advice with other people w/similar problems and downloaded Malwarebytes anti-malware and did a quick scan. Afterward, I downloaded Hijack this and saved my log which I was hoping you could take a look at...Also, before I did my scan I had an error message that said "For some reason your system denied write access to the hosts file. If any hijacked domains are in this file, Hijack This may not be able to fix this. If that happens, You need to edit the file yourself. To do this click start run and type: notepad H:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts And press enter. Find the Lines hijack this reports and delete them. Save the file as "hosts" (with quotes), and reboot" So if there is no way to fix the items that need to be fixed, I will just follow the directions and hopefully that will work (unless there is a way to fix this).

I have attached my Hijack log. Please let me know if I have any threats I should delete (fix) or any further action(s) that you would recommend. I appreciate your time and patience with my problem.
