Slow after removing Trojans

[tatsall]

My computer was recently attacked by Trojans.  I seem to have removed them all, but my computer is working slower.  Browsers are VERY slow to load--most frustrating.   Can you tell me what causes this and how to fix it?   I noticed there was a post in this forum back in November, but there was no posted response.

I have cleared all temp files, run disk cleanup and disk defrag.

My computer is not allowing me to download the Active X controls needed to run Panda ActiveScan and Trend Housecall seems to be stuck at "opening Trend Micro HouseCall".  Are there some internal selections I can change to get my system to accept the Active X controls?  I'm using DSL through SBCYahoo.

Here is the error message I got with the Panda download:  

An error has occurred downloading Panda ActiveScan. Please repeat the process. If the error occurs again, restart your system and try again
Possible causes of this error are:

Not allowing the application's ActiveX control to be downloaded.

Problems with the Internet connection.

The error could be due to a download error or an installation error due to lack of hard disk space, privileges etc.,...

I believe Trend has a Java option. Try that and if it doesn't work, skip the virus checks but carry out the rest of the tests.

try going into safe mode and running the antispyware and antivirus programs from there
