Need help removing ADW_SE

[Sir_William]

i did a scan using "Houscall" and it found a bunch of ADW_SE infections that it could not remove, i've read another thread here where someone else had the exact same problem, the infections could not even be detected with other programs, but he posted his HiJack This report and someone was able to help him... i'm hoping that maybe somebody here can see any problems with my setup as my computer is excrutiatingly slowed down.

it takes me almost 20secs just to open the properties window when right clicking in my desktop. when i minimize any window i happen to have open it takes forever for it to drop and my comp usually stalls during this process. it's really starting to become annoying and i have no idea what to do.

here's my report:

Welcome to the forum Sir_William
Post a report from one or better yet both of these free online scans

Click scan settings and place a check next to use [x]extended this database etc etc. Click ok.
Then choose: my computer: scan all your hard drives and mapped disks.
when finished click save as text and post that in your reply.
