Default [Resolved] Windows ME crashes due to spyware I think

Hi,
If someone could help me.
Have a Pentium MMX running win ME. 320Mb ram, 40gb harddrive.
Has a lot of problems
1) Can't defrag it.
2) Main problem is that some spywayre or something is eating up all resources and makes my computer crash.

How can I get rid of it? Or is my best option to reforamt and start all over?

I also dont have any drivers if i go do the reformat or boot disk.

Any help be appreciated.

Hya Harp, welcome to PCHF.

Let's have a look what is going on there, if you click on the "Prework" link below in my sig, follow those instructions and post back with the 2 resulting log files then we'll start there.
