    I recently downloaded HiJack this because i seem to be getting a few slowdowns here and there, but also i get this weird sound as if im opening a folder in my hard drive even though the laptop is doing nothing. Wondering what that is all about. Anyways i have the log file, but i have no idea what to do with it. Anyhelp would be great!

    ok i went to the site and put it in. I was able to take out 3 items, but im wondering if anything else is unnecessary but the site just doesn't know good enough. Can someone else just check my log just make sure its ok? Sorry for asking this =(, i just really want to fix this issue on my laptop.

    Log seems fine. I concur with the website analysis. Run Malwarebytes to check for spyware...You never know.

    Finish the scans with those and try Malwarebytes. It gives amazing results. So yes, I recommend it.

    amazing, i ran that after running adaware and spybot and it still picked up somethings. And i think that double-clicking sound is finally gone!!! =D...or at least i havnt heard it yet.

    As for the program you suggested, should i purchase the key to get the extra contents??? Do they add anything special or anything crucial im not getting out of it already? Should i upgrade by purchasing?

    Malwarebytes seem to be at their best at the moment. It is up to you. Full version would be lovely :).
