Hi I really need your help, something is going on with my computer. I had a little problem where as my volume control or my scroll bar would go haywire and move on it's own, despite my efforts I could not stop it. I without thinking stupidly used system restore, which got rid of that problem but created a whole lot more.
I somehow have started the new system with some adware or spyware already on my sytem. It is embeded in my system 32 folder, I have used ad-aware despite it getting rid of quite a few things, somehow occasionally it will find the right file that is ****ing up my computer but at that point is shutdown. I know of other spyware removal programme's but don't know if the same problem will occur. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I don't have the best computer in the world but it used to run really well but I am worried, my fan seems to be running overtime even when doing nothing on my computer, I need some advice, any help?
Thank You in advance.
I would also like to add that this problem whatever it may be is also effecting the speed of my internet connection, which is sopposed to be 1 mb.

You could try and disable the spyware that is running by using the msconfig command
click start then run, then type msconfig, then click startup. Try and locate the spyware on that menu and disable it from running at startup, it therefore shouldn't run at all on your computer and will just lay dormant.
Other than that I suggest you back everything up on your computer and reformat it!
