That looks good now Darius,
If everything is running better
You should set up protection against future attacks
SpywareBlaster 3.3 by JavaCool*Will block bad ActiveX Controls
*Block Malevolent cookies in Internet Explorer and Firefox
*Restrict actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer
IE-Spyad---IE-SPYAD puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
Here is a tutorial and download link
TUTORIAL==
Link to TutorialDownload linkWith both, Check for updates every couple of weeks
Keep the link to IE-Spyad bookmarked so you can check for updates
SpywareBlaster, after every update just simply enable all protection
Note: With IE-Spyad installed you may find if you try a scan with hijackthis, it may take a long time or freeze
This is because IE-Spyad adds a long list to the registry and Hijackthis checks this part of the registry>>Seems to be a Windows 98 thing regarding the freezing
IE-Spyad is great on any computer
Another note: I'll leave this topic open for a few days
Good work on getting the latest Critical updates and Service packs from Windows updates
