Before we do anything you need to go to WINDOWS UPDATES and install ALL critical updates as well as SP2.
you also need to install an anti virus program and a firewall.

then post a fresh HJT log.

Now it's into the 21st century

Download and install SUPERAntiSpyware Home Edition (free)
Once installed, update the program definitions when prompted.
Click the "Preferences" button and then the "Scanning Control" tab.
Under "Scanner Options" make sure the following are checked/selected:
Close browsers before scanning.
Scan for tracking cookies.
Terminate memory threats before quarantining.
Ignore System Restore/Volume Information on ME and XP.
Deselect all other scanning options.
Close SUPERAntiSpyware for use later.

Please reboot your computer and enter Safe Mode (tap the F8 key just before Windows starts to load, then select Safe Mode).

Open SUPERAntiSpyware and click the "Scan your computer" button.
On the left, select "C:\Fixed Drive".
On the right, under "Complete Scan", choose "Perform Complete Scan".
Click "Next" to start the scan. Please be patient while it scans your computer.
After the scan is complete a summary box will appear. Click "OK".
Make sure everything in the white box has a check next to it, then click "Next".
After quarantining anything found, you may be prompted to reboot, click "Yes".

Reboot back into Normal Mode...

Then :-

Download and scan with CCleaner
  1. CCleaner installs the Yahoo Toolbar as an option which IS checkmarked by default during the installation.
    IF you do NOT want it, REMOVE the checkmark when provided with the option OR download the toolbar-free or Slim versions instead of the Standard Build.
  2. Before first use, select Options > Advanced and UNCHECK "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours"
    Then select "Cookies"
    Move any cookies you wish to retain, e.g. login cookies, in the left-hand window to the right-hand window by highlighting them and clicking the right arrow in the centre.

  3. Then select the items you wish to clean up.
    In the Windows Tab:

    • Clean all entries in the "Internet Explorer" section.
    • Clean all the entries in the "Windows Explorer" section.
    • Clean all entries in the "System" section.
    • Clean all entries in the "Advanced" section.
    • Clean any others that you choose.



    In the Applications Tab:

    • Clean all entries in the Mozilla Firefox Section.
    • Clean all in the Opera section if you use it.
    • Clean Sun Java in the Internet Section.
    • Clean any others that you choose.


  4. Click the "Run Cleaner" button.
  5. A pop up box will appear advising this process will permanently delete files from your system.
  6. Click "OK" and it will scan and clean your system.
  7. Click "exit" when done.


then DEFRAG your C:\ drive.

to help speed up your system.

Now Re-scan with HijackThis and post the new log and the SUPERAntiSpyware Log.
and let us know how the computer is running.

Thanx Bricat

Tried all that u suggested and pc just started freezing every 5mins and i would have to big button it and restart.

Stripped down fans etc and gave everything a good clean out incase the problem was temp although checked with Everest home edition and everything looked ok.

Finally lost patience with it all and done a full system restore so that i had nothing on the machine apart from factory settings. Left machine running for hours like this for hours without internet connection or anything and everything worked fine. However as soon as i started installing my Belkin Network Adapter to give me a connection to my belkin router and the internet the machine started freezing again.

My laptop is connected wirelessly thru the same router although not thru a adapter as it is wireless enabled and my other desktop is hardwired to it.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
