Hi, I was hoping someone could help me read my HijackThis log, my PC has slowed down and my hard drive constantly makes that loud searching noise? when I am not doing anything. It stops for maybe a second then starts again. I have Windows XP and IE7. I have tried to analyze the log on the HijackThis site but I really have no idea what I am reading, I know very little about computers. I have run the Trend Micro Housecall but it is still running. Thank you, Belinda.

Hi Belinda. Your problem does not sound like a virus one, but instead, it could be a hard drive problem. To make sure, please download this tool: SpeedFan Install SpeedFan, and then run it. Click on the tab S.M.A.R.T., and choose your hard disk in the box next to Hard Disk. Click on the button which says Perform an in-depth online..., and then wait for a web page to pop up. Right click on the web page, and click on Select All. After that, right click again and click Copy. In your next post, paste it here. Best Regards
