Firefox and IE Crashing

[jmiller18]

Both Firefox and IE seem to be crashing when ever I visit certain sites or go to sites that have forms in the page(s). Sometimes these programs will just randomly crash.

Right now I am using Google Chrome

Here is my hijack this log. Could I please have some assistance? thanks!

Hello and to Safer Networking

My name is peku006 and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.
I will be giving you a series of instructions that need to be followed in the order in which I give them to you.

Please observe these rules while we work:

• If you don't know or understand something please don't hesitate to ask
• Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans whilst I am helping you.
• It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
• Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
• Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

1 - download and run RSIT

• Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random/random from here and save it to your desktop.
• Double click on RSIT.exe to run RSIT.
• Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
• Once it has finished, two logs will open. Please post the contents of both log.txt<- (will be maximized) and info.txt<- (will be minimized)

2 - Status Check
Please reply with

the logs from RSIT (log.txt ,info.txt)

Thanks peku006
