This is my first time using Hijack This as well as this forum. I am completely frustrated by my tech support with my ISP. I am fairly comfortable with the basics of managing my computer files but have reached a point where I don't feel it's safe for me to delve deeper and need someone to help me figure out what is going on with my PC.
My PC is 3 years old and I am quite a careful user. I work on a PC with my job quite intensely and rarely have problems as I am careful with what I do and don't do.
Lately my PC is so slow I would have faster service if I were on dialup but I don't think it has anything to do with the highspeed/DSL etc. When I click on something to open it i.e. excel, I can sit back and wait for a good 5-10 minutes before it will open. This applies to anything I try to use…opening internet explorer, opening my yahoo email, opening file folders in my C: drive….simply put, EVERYTHING takes longer and longer to open. I've done all the standard spyware and virus scans, I've done disk clean up and defrag. When I found a spyware I went into my registry and careful removed it. But beyond that I am at a loss as to what is going on.
I have purchased Uniblue Registry cleaner in addition to the Sympatico Security Manager provided by my ISP. I detest Windows Vista and have been told that this is simply how the operating system is and to get used to it. I can't accept that.
I've done a hijack this scan and now need help in determining if there are files in the log that need to be removed or cleaned up. The Uniblue program tells me that my Computer Health is High…but I somehow doubt that. I would appreciate any assistance someone could provide.
2nd question: Is there a way, or can I/should I clean up my D:drive which is my Recovery Drive. It is nearly full and I wonder if that is contributing to the absolute snails pace of my computer….
I've attached the first Hijack This scan report. Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.
