Hi Ross, I don't see any malware in this log? It is not the only thing that can cause a slow computer, are you experiencing any symptoms to make you believe malware is at play? I will make some suggestions and all of them are optional. This will include the Market Browser. Look closely at what I am removing, if it is used, keep it. I will also post some links with information about how to speed up the computer, many of the things we just forget about doing.

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\ <<< check Java for an update:
http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.php?p=12880&postcount=2

C:\Program Files\ewido anti-spyware 4.0\ <<< you have ewido running, if you rely on it for realtime protection) own it...ok, if not turn it off and start it manually when you want to update and use the scanner. It does use a bunch of resources.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/content/view/25/2/
Save it to your Desktop. We will use this later.

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

(all optional)

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://srch-us5.hpwis.com/
O9 - Extra button: MktBrowser - {17A27031-71FC-11d4-815C-005004D0F1FA} - C:\Program Files\MarketBrowser\lmt\MarketBrowser_Launch.xpy
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: MarketBrowser - {17A27031-71FC-11d4-815C-005004D0F1FA} - C:\Program Files\MarketBrowser\lmt\MarketBrowser_Launch.xpy

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

RIGHT Click on Start then click on Explore. Locate and delete these items:

If you remove the MarketBrowser, look for the program in Add Remove programs and uninstall it.
Then look for this folder and delete it if there: C:\Program Files\MarketBrowser\ <<< delete the folder

Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

No need to post again unless you wish to.
