I am running PC, Windows XP and recently had several viruses deleted from system. Problem started when running Internet Explorer and would receive an error tab every time stating IE must close. The data error was a mcsvrt.dll problem.

Now when I start the computer it takes 10-15 minutes to boot completely and accessing Mozilla or any apps after about 3-4 mins takes ages. It runs so slow, something has it almost completely bogged down. I run spybot but after a while it freezes up.

Not sure what to do???

Please click here to download and install the HijackThis installer.

Run it and select Do a system scan and save a logfile.

The log will be saved in Notepad. Copy and paste the log in your next post.

Do not fix anything

If you still have the install CDs I would suggest you just reload your operating system and reinstall your apps. If thats too much of a hassle I would go with Phantom's suggestion.

Sam:

Did you have those viruses removed with the assistance of a malware expert here, or did you do it yourself?

Follow the instructions in post #2. Make sure to close all open windows first before running a scan.
