Don't post links that install stuff without giving you a choice.

Download Hijack This

Save it to a new folder on C: drive.

Run it and click "scan and save a log file"

It will open a log in Notepad. Copy all of the text and paste it here.

Well there's no traces of that program left and nothing dodgy to worry about. You could disable a couple of startup items if you like but Browser Accelerator isn't what's making your PC slow.

Hijack this, is an awsome prog, I use it regular.
Use this website to check ur own logs...www.hijackthis.de paste the log in the empty space and press the button below, the page refreshes with your results.
Basically tells you whats recomended to fix from its database.
theres a support forum too.

save the link to favs, as you will need it everytime you run Hijack this.
you get the prog from "Direct Download" top right of the page.

Ive always found the Google toolbar really slows peoples machines down, and they notice a big improvment after uninstalling it. Same for most tool bars tbh.
