Hey guys, my brothers computer is playing up, its so slow takes half an hour to move the mouse anywhere, also when he tries to connect to the internet it says 'can't detect dial tone' and there is a dial tone. I have made sure that everything is plugged in properly and that the modem line is working.
Apparantly he could detect to the internet fine, and the next day this problem just occured, without making any system changes (that he knew of) or installing new software etc.
Any ideas? Here is his HJT log:

Close all applications and browser windows before you click "fix checked".

Run Panda ActiveScan here

Once you are on the Panda site click the "Scan your PC" button.
A new window will open... click the "Check Now" button.
Enter your Country.
Enter your State/Province.
Enter your e-mail address.
Select either Home User or Company.
Click the big "Scan Now" button.
If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it.
It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes).
When download is complete, click on "Local Disks" to start the scan.
When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the "See Report" button; then "Save Report" and save it to a convenient location. Post the contents of the Panda scan report in your next reply.

Post a new HiJack This log along with the results from ActiveScan.

Click Start - Run, type in MSCONFIG, then click OK - "Startup" tab. Remove the checkmark from:

TaskMonitor

LoadPowerProfile

CreativeMixer

LoadPowerProfile

InControl Desktop Manager

EPSON Status Monitor 3 Environment Check

Click Apply - OK afterwards, then restart your computer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open the following TEMP folders:

C:\TEMP
(Note: Not all computers have this folder)

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP

then delete all files and folders from inside these TEMP folders.

Restart your computer again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You should update Internet Explorer to 6.0 SP1. You appear to have the original 6.0 version.

This problem can be caused by a number of issues.

The phone cord could be plugged into the wrong jack.
Modem damage caused by lightning, have you had any storms while using the computer?
Have you tried reloading the modem drivers?
