Hi, i'm not even on my own computer right now, it's so absolutely blown. I have no idea what else i can do, given its state. it was last night that IE started to slow down considerably, and then i was getting warnings about BHO's from my SpywareGuard, and then both of them crashed. Since then, nothing's gone right. IE is either a slogging mess or just quits (every thirty seconds..or maybe a whole couple minutes) with an average-looking error message, or maybe a 'msxml2r.exe has stopped responding.' The SpywareGuard, which has always worked really well for me, flashes a dozen 'netan32.dll' warnings, and then crashes itself. I don't know what the hell either msxml2r or netan32 is, by the way. Adaware comes up clean or, oh, wow, it crashes, too. Spybot manages to finish scanning, but then it freezes and quits, too. CWshredder, like adaware, told me congratulations on my squeaky-clean system, at which point i started to laugh. it's better than breaking something.
here is the hijack this log for the thing:
