When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

If you have not received help after three days, please post a link to your topic HERE.

Windows XP service pack 2. Computers homepage is set to www.google.com and when I do a search in the google search bar it brings up a list of found results just fine, but when I click on one of the result links about 9 times out of 10 it will try to go to some other website (blocked by noscript when using firefox). The 1 time out of 10 that I am allowed to actually get to the actual site I clicked on, quite often the page only loads about halfway before timing out. Also, online games time out when attempts are made to log on to them.

Please let me know what to do, and thanks in advance for your time! =)

(edit: some spelling mistakes.)
