I have vista and after i got home i couldn't even get on the net. I ran hijack this, cked my server and ran my avg , spywareblaster and i finally got it to atleast start opening pgs. Today it was running little better but my pgs are still loading slow. I have to hit the refresh button sometimes to even get them to open. My videos and music won't load fast enough to even play. Anyone ? Is this a virus on? Anyone know how to fix this problem on vista?

There are probably more infections. Download and run Anti Malware from www.malwarebytes.org
Then do the same with Hijack This.

if you bought your computer and you took it home i think that what you experienced it may be quite normal. In fact, when Vista runs for the first time it has to load everything and set evertything for the first time. after that everything will be smoothly and fast. Sometimes the whole process can take as long as 30 minutes (but just the first time). also, if your computer is brand new...return it! Webmaster of Web Talk

Run msconfig and disable all under startup. Reboot and click Ok on the dialog box. Try to download anti malware.
If you have a hijack this log, post it.

Can you get Hijack This to run? Post the log if you can. If not, open the registry. Go to HKLM Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Run
Open the run folder. Delete any values on the right that don't belong. If you aren't sure, ask here. Do the same thing in HKCU.
