howdy y'all... for some inexplicable reason my system has been acting slow as of late - REAL slow, like right clicking anything causes the system to hang for 15 seconds and opening anything can cause hangups that last as long as a minute... i've run the latest versions of spybot, adaware, spysweeper and nod32 but can't find any malware beyond the occasional cookie... spysweeper's startup shield does detect "svhost" and "schedulingagent," both programs which i can't seem to remove; however both entries preceded this sudden bout of extreme system slowness... i really can't explain it and it seems neither can my antivirus/malware programs...
i am running windows 98 on a 450mhz pentium 3 with 384mb ram... here's what i get when i run hijack this 1.98:

someone, please help?
/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' /> rebooting does not solve the problem and the slowness is something extreme... i thank y'all for your time...

perhaps i should mention that a virus once destroyed my norton antivirus 2004... i was unable to uninstall or reinstall the program, hence i purchased nod32...
i should mention also that looking over nod32's virus log i noted these entries:

PS: is there a way for me to block everything from one address (http:\\, not ip) from ever uploading content to or otherwise accessing my pc? i see a whole lot of these:

-and would just like to block that page from my pc so it can never be accessed...
many thanks again!

Your log isn't that bad, but let's remove some entries and get some more protection on your system
I'll assume that you installed the NOC's toolbar on purpose, so we'll leave that entry alone
Download this small utility to your desktop, this will help you delete the contents of the Temp folders
Internet Sweeper (http://\"http://www.bmesite.com/isfw.exe\")
Double click to Install, we'll run this later
Do another Scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries
and then FIX CHECKED when ALL other windows are closed, including this one
