Hey everyone,

I just got home to Virginia for the Thanksgiving holiday expecting to get some peace and quiet to get some school work done. Turns out her computer is a mess. The computer is extremely slow and sluggish. Often the CPU is at 100 percent and at least two iexplore.exe processes are running at the same time. As we speak one of the iexplorer is using 85,888 k of memory. Please find below the latest hijackthis log. Thanks!

To further update the last reply, the rundll32.exe process is constantly sucking up a majority, if not all, of the CPU performance.

Thanks,
