goosed computer!

Hi there...

Some time last year I had a virus, which I managed to get rid of I think, only now my computer crashes whenever I try and shut it down.

I also had the about:blank virus. I thought I had got rid of it, but every so often, when i go between websites, it flashes up in the top left hand corner.. as in, where it says Devshed forums.

It also slows down the longer I am on the internet... I have broadband but it is wireless networked, so i normally turn off the arial to avoid this.

Please help!

Here is my Hijack this log
