Tech,

Am back, need your opinion.

Problem: PC seems to drag very very slow shortly after booting and getting onto the internet. Task Manager indicates alot of activity in iexplore.exe and a high percentage of usage in the performance area, despite any lack of commands from me. Wondered if a hidden something is hiding and running spam out of my PC.

All attempts at a virus scan in safe made resulted in a hard shutoff. When I am in normal windows, scans from both Avira and Spybot show nothing (naturally).

Checking users in control panel, nothing seems unusual. But, when I went to log in as administrator it would not take my password. That's when I came back here for a quick discussion. Below is a Hijack This logfile. Please let me know what else you need to see.

Am running Windows XP Pro on an IBM laptop.

Many thanks.

Tech, ALL attempts to do an AV scan while in safe mode shut down. The file names that display right before the re-boot are in the applications folder of Documents and Settings under my registered name. That seems to clinch the infection for me. Paultpa

WhattheTech, Never mind, cancel this. Since I couldn't wait forever for whoever on this forum I went after things on my own and crashed the IBM laptop. When it's up again I'll hit a different tech board. Paultpa

Hi,

When it's up again I'll hit a different tech board.


Good luck with that :thumbup:

All tech forums are staffed by volunteers who give freely of their time and expertise to help others in need.

As you can see, there are many people with issues and only so may staff members to answer, so quite often there is a delay in answering threads,
a little consideration is appreciated.
