Alright, I've been informed that I have some spyware on my computer, and when I went to the Microsoft website it said the problem causing my IE to freeze all the time is the IBIS toolbar. I don't see any toolbars whatsoever, but some people suggested that I download hijackthis and I did. Would someone inspect my log file and tell me what I'm supposed to do?

You're Hijack this log looks good, so you nothing to fix here. As for the IBIS tool bar here is a link with removal instruction, hope it helps. http://www.iamnotageek.com/a/370-p1.php

Alright, that's good. I went to that site before, and tried to follow the instructions...but most of the files it asked me to delete weren't even found. Was the Microsoft website wrong, or do I really have some spyware installed on my computer?

With AdAware and CCleaner installed on your computer, boot up into safe mode with networking F8 key, check for updates, then run both , see what happens. Spyware can block updates that will remove it.

I don't know if that's the problem anymore...the problem usually only occurs while I browse online with IE. I installed Macromedia Flash Player and I get this error: "A script in this move is causing Macromedia Flash Player 7 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" I don't get what I'm supposed to do now...is there even a solution to this problem?

Try uninstalling Macromedia Flash Player , and see what happens. If you get to a site that needs it you will be asked if want to install it. It's possible you had a bad install of Macromedia Flash Player

Alright, I reinstalled it, but IE still freezes...especially when I have two or more windows open.

Oh by the way, this doesn't seem to happen with Firefox... and something you might want to know about the problem with IE: It freezes for a while, and then when I minimize it a few times, it goes back to normal.

Please post a new Hijack this log, I will run it again

Alright, deleted. I have to try using IE for a while, so I'll get back to you in a few minutes. By the way, thanks a lot for your help ^^

Hmmm, doesn't freeze this time, but the game doesn't load. 509/528...it's been loading that part for a while and the speed keeps slowing down.

Yoou're welcome, I don't understand what is 509/528? If this is a game lets delate it for now (if you have the disks to reinstall) and see what happens.

509k/528k loaded. This game isn't on a disk...it's off a site (maybe that's why it uses flash? o.o I dunno) We can forget the game, but if I have two or more browsers open, the problem is still there x.x This isn't happening to my dad's or my bro's comp...only mine.

OK do you know how much ram you have? When you have a few windows open go to task manager and check out the resource tab, are you maxing out? See if you can see what is useing the most CPU usage. Do you have ample free disk space, check explorer properties and see. Another thing you can try is download Ccleaner this is a good free program

512Mb ram. I don't see a resource tab...and how do I max it out? Right now the one using the most CPU usage is Firefox. The next is svchost.exe (no idea what that is) Uhm, and I don't know what ample free disk space is...sorry. I've tried CCleaner.

Great. -.- Now it's happening to Firefox too

When you press ctrl alt delet look at the performance tab, this should give you CPU usage, the Process tab will tell you what is using what. Resource tab tab (sorry ) just the way I look at things dissreguard. If you open explorer, look for thee "C" drive right click and check properties, this will give you a pie chart that will tell you how much space you have left. 512 meg should be ample

CPU Usage: 15%-18% It says I have 139GB of free space.
