Help! I've noticed IE or FF being redirected through akamai.net when going to Walmart site. No other site redirect noticed (yet). Also, this machine has been very slow for quite some time now. Have run multiple AV and AS pgms. Any ideas? I'm a PC user from way back but have not kept up with the state of the maleware art. Are there any free apps to run that would fix this and maybe speed up the box? If somone is able to help, then thank you in advance for your kindness!

Try to run CCLEANER to clean up some of the temporary files.
Alot of the spywares etc.. puts temp files everywhere and this program clean them.
It don't clean spyware etc.. that is already installed on the computer, just the temp files.
If you don't clean the temp files the spywares will install itself again all the time.
