slow pc - svchost

How is Highjack better than Ad Aware, AVG, Spybot S&D, internal modem router
(DSL), and XP Pro firewalls?
I've not downloaded HiJackThis because it appeared too involved for me, and
I run utilities, and aforementioned at least every 4 days, (AVG is
automatically updated, and runs daily), and I run Trendmicro every 2 wks,
just to be sure...

The reason I'm responding is I've notice I'm running more slowly, but
nothing is showing up, and I have 66% available on C Drive--have not
fragemented C Drive.

Thank you.

You have answered your own question Pappion, go slows are caused
mainly by virii/ trojans/ spyfiles, which possibly means you do not
have enough protection, 4000 new ones coming out every month. We have
to eliminate the infection part of fixing your comp, before we look
elseware.

nass has given you online sites to use, have you? Use all of them.
Or,
Jaymon also has provided help.
Or,
HiJackThis is a MAJOR tool in tracking down infections, every site
involved in removing infections uses it, you only have to have to READ
my links, starting with Step by Step.

You are quite welcome to email me if you want, refer this issue in
your header.

I am pretty sure its microsoft update, the replacement of windows update.
go to the microsoft update site, switch it off in settings and see what
happens...
I did it and it worked fine


(pls tell me the result )
