[file CLEANUP - saving space - attachment deleted by admin]Disable TeaTimer, as it'll interfere with the cleaning process:
Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon.
Click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.
TeaTimer closes.


Open HJT, and checkmark following entries:
- O2 - BHO: (no name) - {0E3208EE-A797-4095-95B8-783373A94A27} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmkjk.dll (file missing)
- O4 - Global Startup: Dell Network Assistant.lnk = ?
- O4 - Global Startup: Digital Line Detect.lnk = ?
Click "Fix checked". Restart computer.

You have a lot of startups (O4). Some of them can be disabled.

Please, give me new HJT log, downloaded from here: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/hijackthis.html. Your version is outdated.

You need to update your Java:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
#4 - Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 4
Uninstall all previous versions of Java through Add\Remove.

Did you run CCleaner?

One of your problems is amount of RAM. I'd add a stick of 512MB, and you'll see the difference.updated java
ran ccleaner also
got updated HJT
i'll ask my uncle to get some more RAM. any recommendations?
new HJT log added
thanks for the help

[file cleanup - saving space - attachment deleted by admin]It looks better...
All, you need to do is to get more RAM. That should do it.Thanks alot for the help. i'm wondering how do u learn what all those values mean in HJT log and wether or not it's safe to remove? is there like some magic glossary list i could look at and remove them myself without having to bug u guys? As with any learning, it takes time. If you like to play with computer, and have some spare time, you can always sign up here: http://www.malwareremoval.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=233
It's free.
For now, you better "bug" us, then make your computer unstable.
