Hi,
Before you ask, yes, I have read the ‘Slow computer? May not be Malware’ thread. Done all of the stuff and no change. My computer has been running slower for some reason. Haven’t installed new programs or anything, it just started slowing down. Logs as needed, none of the programs spotted anything:

When I check taskmanager for any processes taking up a lot, it is usually ‘System Idle Process’ fluctuating up to 10% max. Around 1.4GB ram free out of 2GB. Anything else you might need, just ask. It might not be virus, but want to know what is making my computer slow .

BTW: My Eset recently popped up a message saying it blocked several viruses attempting to invade.
Here is something listed in the ‘Log’ section of Eset.

16/10/2008 6:14:24 PM HTTP filter file http://208.53.147.32/cgi-bin/fhx.pl?…way_area51.zip probably a variant of Win32/Statik application connection terminated – quarantined KEVIN\Kevin K Threat was detected upon access to web by the application: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.

Probably can see I was trying to download something. I wanted to try Area 51, from the link in the legally free games thread. Don’t know what happened, maybe Eset made false call, but thought you might want to know.
