Somebody fix this if needed

Uninstall Messenger Plus! 3.  Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Software. 

The program itself isn't bad but its "sponsor program" is and usually when you uninstall Messenger Plus it will take its sponsr with it.  If you want to use Messenger Plus you can install it again but be careful to opt out of the sponsor program.  Bu please wait until we finish.

Shutdown and Restart and Boot into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key when you see
the PC maker's logo.
Keep tapping until it tells you it is going to Safe Mode or you see the Safe
Mode menu. Select the top option. Log in as your usual login or you won't find
the programs you put on the desktop
and some of the entries we want to remove will not appear in HijackTHis.

Run HijackThis and just do a Scan only. Check   then Fix Checked any of the following that remain:
 

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SAHBundle] C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\bundle.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MessengerPlus3] "C:\Program Files\MessengerPlus! 3\MsgPlus.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MalwareWipe] C:\Program Files\MalwareWipe\MalwareWipe.exe /h

Reboot into regular mode and make a new HJT log and post it as a reply.  Are things any better?

Messenger plus just recently changed sponsors so I'm not sure what they are giving you these days.  Used to be a nasty LOP infection and the easiest way to remove it was to uninstall Mess +.

 Assuming they really didn't just go ahead and give you the infection anyway when you opted out, you can try to just remove the two I pointed out without removing Mess +.

here you go, the internet is slightly faster

You can close Internet Explorer then run HijackThis (scan only) and check these then Fix Checked:

Don't think it will make anything faster.  The first two are remnants left over from infection.  The last two are ActiveX controls from two of my most unfavorite websites.  Please stay away from Zango and funwebproducts. 

Start, Run, sigverif, OK.  When the new program comes up press Start and wait for it to finish.  Do you see wininet.dll?  Sort the list by date by clicking on the Modified column header.  Look for new files (since the problem started.)  What do you find?

Rightclick on the clock and select Task Manager then Processes then click once or twice on CPU until you see the processes with the highest CPU usage at the top of the list.  The top process should now be System Idle with over 95% of the CPU Usage.  IF not what are the top three and what Percent CPU usage do they have?

You can also try RootKitRevealer from SysInternals and see if it finds anything:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/RootkitRevealer.html

It likes to find registry entries but ignore them.  Just look for files that end in .exe, .sys or .dll.

Also download and run blacklight
F-Secure Blacklight: http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/try.shtml
 
click > scan then > next,
If any items show have blacklight rename them except for wbemtest.exe"
Do not rename "wbemtest.exe" it's a windows file
The tool will ask if you want to reboot (restart) choose yes.
check the event viewer to see if there are some services timing out.

Never hurts to do one of the free on line scans from Panda or Trend.  They take a while but are pretty good.

AdAware. 
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

Start, Run, eventvwr,msc, OK then select System.  Look for red marked events near the time of your last boot.  Doubleclick on one to open it then copy the text by clicking on the bottom of the three buttons then move to a reply to this post and Edit. Paste (or Ctrl + v).  Repeat for each different error.  (If you have multiple copies of the same error just post one copy and tell me you have 10 of these or whatever.)

If you feel that you have solved the problem then you can stop any time.

What kind of problem does the laptop have?

All I can suggest is what I told you to do before that you thought was too much work:

Start, Run, sigverif, OK.  When the new program comes up press Start and wait for it to finish.  Do you see wininet.dll?  Sort the list by date by clicking on the Modified column header.  Look for new files (since the problem started.)  What do you find?

Rightclick on the clock and select Task Manager then Processes then click once or twice on CPU until you see the processes with the highest CPU usage at the top of the list.  The top process should now be System Idle with over 95% of the CPU Usage.  IF not what are the top three and what Percent CPU usage do they have?
