Slow Browser/spybot problem

Ok so this is a 2 problem thread.....
#1 when i run spybot it searches for a while then comes up with an error that reads:

"Zwax: jsfvjahvbvuohsuohasjokhouisfg" where the crazy letters are germain or russian language.

I updated spybot and still the same think (also in safe mode). I used ad aware se as well and it comes up with no spyware, but i like spybot better. Anyone ever heard of that problem?

#2 my firefox/internet is running really really slow (cable connection though) and i dont know why. It looks like old 56k days when frames load up one by one. Is there a trick to upping a cache size or something to make this speed up. The downloads are also slow as well, often under 50 kbps when i used to average 200+ from the same sites....argh!!

thanks

Nash

Download and run Microsoft Antispyware Beta, and then post a HijackThis log in the System Security forum.
