Hi guys, Im an online gamer and I am experiencing some problems with a high ping - it started after I got a new mouse :S which I find quite weird.

Below is a hijackThis log, I'd be grateful if you could check it and see if there is anything that could be slowing me down.

Many thanks.

Check to see that you have up-to-date drivers for your mouse.

Next run SpyBot S&D if you haven't already. CWShredder is another good one to run.

About your HJT log:

I'm unsure about the following item. nwiz is associated with the newer versions of nVidia graphics cards drivers. It could have been added by the GAOBOT.ZX or GAOBOT.ADV WORMS which is not the valid nVidia application that shares the same name However, this isn't necessary for the operation of your system
[b]O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [nwiz] nwiz.exe /install[/b]

016 are ActiveX downloads. If you don't recognize the url, then have HJT fix it. Questionable one:

What Dave didn't mention is that you also need to download and run a new updated HiJack Log. You can find it here: [url]http://www.merijn.org/downloads.html[/url] make sure it reads version 1.98.2. if that link is out of order, go to this one:
