Hi,
I've never used any type of antiVirus or antiSpyware software before so I'm a newbie with this stuff. I stupidedly ran a bogus exe file last night and ended up with a Win32.Agent.cfqz. I also found jestertb.dll, sys1.dll and sys2.dll adwares on my computer. The trojan itself had programs crash frequently, make the computer slow like it was '95 again or something, and my dual second monitor that runs with a usb adapter goes black for 1-2 seconds randomly.
Kaspersky said the trojan was in my Flock cache. So I first had it delete it and then wiped private data clean through Flock. Compared to the time the trojan was around, the computer is much better, but it's still worse than it was two days ago. In the two hours I've used the computer since the trojan has been gone, the screen has flickered twice. I've had this dual monitor for a month and it never flickered before so I'm positive the trojan or adware caused it. Also twice when I clicked on the start menu, it would freeze for 5 or 10 seconds. Flock also became real slow with 5 tabs relatively quickly…I usually have 10ish tabs on for a few hours before the RAM usage slows it down.
What should I do? I've been looking on how to wipe all temporary files and internet files. Webroot Window Washer seems to have the best reviews but I thought I'd ask here before throwing down $20. Also should I have a second antispyware and antivirus software? I used the SUPERAntiSpyware free version and a paid copy of Kaspersky. I wouldn't mind spend around $25 or so for an antispyware software but I'd rather not buy a second anti-virus (I'm poor :P).
Sorry if I wrote too much I'm just a bit annoyed right now, but seriously thanks to anyone who takes the time to help.
Also I just noticed in the logs that Kaspersky automatically deleted a trojan downloader called Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Delf.fwe.
Thanks again for any help.

Download Ccleaner, AVG, spybot, If your computer is still laggy after all of thoes scans being ran,
start - run - msconfig ( Stop all start up processes )
If this still doesnt work, then you might want to reformat, Kaspersky isnt the best out there.

This is a free anti-virus scan that should help detect anything that is left in your system.

tl;dr kapersky sucks. All you have to make your computer run faster again is go into your Windows folder and delete the System32 folder. I do this once a week or so and my computer runs great. The System32 folder is a common target of spyware and trojans. Do this and your computer will run like new.
Don't listen to DD08 she doesn't know what system32 is. Baleeting it is the best thing you can do for your computer.

Try Malwarebytes, update it and run a full scan.

DO NOT DELETE SYSTEM32!!! Unless of course you want your computer completely unusable. I think you should get a better ant virus program, Kaspersky isn't the best.
