Every time I scan with SUPERAntiSpyware It finds 2

Adware flash tracking cookies. I have them put in quarantine

but they are back the next time I scan. I keep checking cause my computer has gotten pretty slow.

Malwarebytes doesn't find anything.

If you keep returning to the web site that leaves those cookies, you'll keep getting new ones. As for the computer running slowly...these cookies aren't the problem.

A couple of tracking cookies is not going to affect your computer's speed. A more likely culprit is the programs you have running in the background. Typically, as you add software to your computer, like RealPlayer, etc., these programs set themselves to startup every time you boot up your computer. Go to Run, type in "msconfig" (without the quotes), click on the Startup tab, and uncheck any things you don't need starting up and running in the background...like Adobe, Quicktime, Realplayer, etc. Then click on "Apply" and "Ok," and then restart your computer. See if that helps any.

grandms that link there on the avast site links to the cnet download page if you put your cursor over the download button you can see at the bottom of the screen the cnet address. I bet what is happening when you click on the big download now arrow on that cnet download page, it sends you to another page where the actual download file pops up in a pop up box my guess is you have the pop up blocked and are not seeing it, you firefox or IE should show you a bar at the top saying you need to click there to allow the box. Since you are not seeing that pop up all you are seeing is the link for the pay version. Is your download blocked? if you have that blocked then you probably will not get the one from mikies link either. another site you can try from is major geeks just click on one of the download locations Avast! Free Edition 5.1.889

Close all browser windows including this one only have HJT open place a check mark in the following entries: O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Reader Speed Launch.lnk = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\reader_sl.exe O4 - Startup: OpenOffice.org 2.4.lnk = C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.4\program\quickstart.exe O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SUPERAntiSpyware] C:\Program Files\SUPERAntiSpyware\SUPERAntiSpyware.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HPHUPD04] "C:\Program Files\HP Photosmart 11\hphinstall\UniPatch\hphupd04.exe" O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HPHmon04] C:\WINNT\System32\hphmon04.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe" Click FIXED CHECKED. Reboot Windows. Review the log those entries should be gone, if not run HJT in the Safe Mode. 04 entries start everytime windows starts these entries are unnecessary the rest of the log is good. Again I see no Firewall, usually a firewall would show in the 023 entries like Avast because it runs on windows as a service. Note* Windows 2000 is currently running at Service pack 4, in the very top of the log is the header an shows this Platform: Windows 2000 SP3 (WinNT 5.00.2195) Is windows 2000 still supported with Micorsoft updates I am not sure but I think it is till July 2010 hopefully others can add information. Can you update Internet explore also---> MSIE: Internet Explorer v5.00 SP3 (5.00.2920.0000) This is very old, would IE7 work on 2000 I am not sure perhaps a google search "IE7 on windows 2000" search that maybe. FYI Hijackthis creates backups if any functionally is lost you can restore the entry that was removed by opening HJT and click review list of back ups there you will see all the 04 Entries that were removed and have to option to restore that entry. Never use HJT with out instruction it's advisable to remove the program when finished through the add/remove programs feature.

Kudzu9,
A short while a go Zep helped me clean out some things & it helped some but it's slow again.
Below is what is on startup. I want the desktop weather there. I don't know what has to be there. Some new things could be on there that doesn't need to be there.
It also very slow loading pages & rebooting.

Below is what I know about my computer:
windows XP Media center Edition AMD Athlon 64 processor 3500+
2.21GHz 960MB of ram
Physical address extention Acer
300 GB harddrive

you have it whittled down good I don't see anything you can take off.

You could head to LzD and post a hijackthis log and ask to have it looked at that your pc is getting slow.

Have you opened up the side panel and cleaned out any dust in there (assuming it is a desktop)

After you quarantine it take note which websites you go and next time you got the notification again about this cookies, go back to your history and try to point out which sites is the culprit.

Computer slow might be about applications running in the background or you are running out of hard disk space or maybe its really time for a Windows reinstallation.

Adding more memory (RAM) couldn't hurt, either. Looks as if you have only 1GB installed.

look up the name of the cookies or sites it lists
does it list the url/link?

use a cookie blocker, Firefox browser has one

in IE set it to 'ask' about saving cookes

rmanic,
It doesn't tell what site the cookies comes from.
