Recently I got a virus on my computer and it caused my computer to run slow and stopped me from accessing the internet. I have scanned my pc with Malwarebytes Adaware se, superantispware, avast, Mcafee and Registry Clean Expert. These programs took a good amount of viruses off my pc. I can access files faster than before but it is still pretty slow. Also, I can only access the internet through mozilla (safe mode). Is there anything I can do to access the internet normally and make my pc faster? Thanks

sounds like you still have a virus on your computer as i read somewhere a few days ago that there was another virus that slows down your pc and wont let you install ANYTHING or search the internet but if it did let you every time you search something with the word VIRUS it shutsdown your pc so all i can say is do another scan of you pc with avast and maybe uninstall NORTON or i think it is now called macafee as they are a huge hod of rescources.

If all the viruses are gone, your next step is to streamline your security setup. Too much security on your computer will slow you down.
zone alarm firewall (not the suite)
antivirus
firefox browser (not as vulnerable as other browsers)
sandboxie or returnil (Whenever I am in areas of the internet that might be unsafe I surf with my browser in a sandbox).

Thanks to everyone who replied. Every time I try to access the internet through mozilla Firefox I get the message "svchost has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" Most of the time I can't access the internet but I can download normally through programs like flashget and orbit. Is there a reason why this is happening.

You have a running malware process that is your problem:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\dll\svchost.exe
