I was invaded by a virus, the one which causes the clock to display VIRUS ALERT. I followed the tips on here at http://www.computing.net/answers/se... and have got my system working again however since it seems to be running slower than before, can someone suggest why I can post my hj list if required.

Please post your Hijack This log.
