#1 took care of my problems too, slow scrolling, loading etc. at least MOST of them.
i had tried several previous software that did not help eliminate the spyware, even though is said it did.

yeah, i tried to find one on my own, but all the ones I found wanted you to PAY for them, or they would only tell you what was on your machine, but not get rid of it...
this one is good.

My computer was seriously messed up from when it spent some time in my brothers dorm room in college. It had every spyware program known to man. HijackThis.exe was the only thing that fixed it. Use it. Just be sure to save backups.
