    Hello, I was sent here by a fellow on another message board, and I have removed everything (485 items :-/) with Ad-Aware, and downloaded HiJackThis and I will post my log below. The symptoms are that my browser works fine on some sites, but on others, will "load" a page fine, but then delay for 15-20 seconds in a sort of "freeze," where I can't click any links or anything - then it will be okay, and I will click a link, and it happens again. Here is my logfile:

    Hi Casey,

    As for different time zones, experts may be not available at some times.
    do wait and an expert is on his way to help you soon
    till then create a permanent folder, keep hijackthis in that folder taking from the desktop and run again so that the back ups it make dont get lost.

    then have hijackthis fix only these entries.

    reboot and post a fresh log

    maybe the possible cause for your IE slowdown]

    good day

    My internet appears to work now! A miracle! I did what you said and removed the 3 files in Hijackthis. I did not go through with Norton's removal instructions for adware.netpal because it seemed like that is what I did - and now the problem seems to be gone. Let me know if there is anything else I can do - here is the updated log:

    Nice work. :)

    I would uninstall P2P Networking in Add/Remove Software.
    It is just an unnecessary burden on your computer.

    Regards,

    It likes to give you that impression. ;)
    But I have advised to remove it lots of times, and only one person claimed KaZaa didn't work anymore afterwards.
    There are spywarefree altenatives for KaZaa by the way:
