I've been having problems with my laptop of late running very slow. It's worst not long after start up and it slows down a freeze for anywhere between 15 and 30 minutes. I'm not sure if I have any malware causing any problems, but I'd appreciate any guidance in getting some performance back especially the freeze ups after booting.

I've left it my dropbox space to keep the size of this post down.

TIA for any help :)

I'm not seeing much else.

Copy/paste the text in the Codebox below into notepad:

Here's how to do that:
Click Start > Run type Notepad click OK.
This will open an empty notepad file:

Take your mouse, and place your cursor at the beginning of the text in the box below, then click and hold the left mouse button, while pulling your mouse over the text. This should highlight the text. Now release the left mouse button. Now, with the cursor over the highlighted text, right click the mouse for options, and select 'copy'. Now over the empty Notepad box, right click your mouse again, and select 'paste' and you will have copied and pasted the text.

KillAll::

Unless you're using Symantec

Use Add/Remove Programs and remove:
Symantec\LiveUpdate


This also shows you have less than 10% free.
Drive C: | 106.08 Gb Total Space | 8.90 Gb Free Space | 8.39% Space Free | Partition Type: NTFS

Use Add/Remove and uninstall anything you're not using anymore


Run Disk cleanup
http://www.wintuts.com/Disk-Cleanup
First of all, thanks LDTate for all your help so far :)

I've deleted the Symantec Live update as suggested. To be honest, I'd completely forgotten about it as it was pre-installed when I bought the laptop and thought it was disabled. One of the causes may have been a conflict between it and Kaspersky. I also noted the Ask taskbar you earlier identified was in the add/remove list and has since been deleted.

The laptop is now running a lot better and my next task is to free up a good chunk of hard disk space. It now makes sense why there's been a lot of hard disk thrashing and could have been one of the major causes of my problems - I will have to keep an eye on this. The laptop is almost 5 years old and the IT feller at work suggested I look into upgrading to Windows 7 as it's a far better OS then Vista.

I'd say now that the laptop problems are solved and once again, many thanks. Before you close the thread off, could you tell me (apart from what was previously mentioned), things that you identified from the ComboFix scans? I'd like to know what else slipped in and know what to keep an eye out for in the future.

Here is my final ComboFix log file:

Good job :thumbup:

The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

For XP:
  • Click START run
  • Now type ComboFix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the /, it needs to be there.

For Vista / Windows 7
  • Click START Search
  • Now type ComboFix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the /, it needs to be there.


Here's my usual final post

To be on the safe side, I would also change all my passwords.

This infection appears to have been cleaned, but as the malware could be configured to run any program a remote attacker requires, it's impossible to be 100% sure that any machine is clean.


Log looks good :D


  • Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
    • From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
    • Click once on the Security tab
    • Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
    • Click once on the Custom Level button.
    • Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
    • Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
    • Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
    • Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
    • Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
    • Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
    • When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
    • If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
    • Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
  • Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week
    (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

  • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.
    Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over.
    I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients.
    Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.


  • Using a secure browser plugin M86 SecureBrowsing makes it safe to search, surf and socialize online. This free browser plug-in displays security icons next to links on search engines and social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, so you'll know which pages are safe and which ones to avoid.


    •Free browser plug-in for Internet Explorer and Firefox
    •Real-time safety ratings
    •Ideal for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn

  • JAVA Click this link and click on the Free JAVA Download


  • Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly.
    This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
    If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site
    until there are no more critical updates.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.


I would suggest you read:
PC Safety and Security–What Do I Need?.
How to Prevent Malware:
One last reply :)

Thanks for the closing info. I don't use IE as my browser but all the settings were already set as recommended which means they were altered this way some time in the past.

I use Kaspersky as both my virus scanner and firewall. it updates itself at least daily so it ticks that box :) I installed the M86 SecureBrowsing plugin for Firefox as suggested so hopefully that adds an extra level to my browsing security. I also use the NoScript addon which allows me to control which scripts are run on web sites.

MS updates are done not automatically but I download them on a choice basis (only install the Windows required ones).

I was a little concerned to see that this is not the first time I was infected with DRMNetVdm. I shall do some more research on this and make sure it doesn't reappear.

Once again, many thanks for your time and effort LDTate. I have always been security conscious but it goes to show what can slip through when you take your eye off the ball!
The bad guys are always finding ways to get around our protection

You're more than welcome.
Glad we were able to help

Peace be with you Posted Image
