==== End of Fixlog 11:24:29 ====
Couple of questions on the log. "moved successfully", where is it moved to? "file/directory not found", if it was found on ESET, why doesn't it get picked up with the "fix"? Curiosity.
Will work on the additional info provided from previous questions. I'm still have "bing" when I go to the command line and start to type out a search or site. This google still has bing as it's search engine. I assume I'll have to get rid of google & google chrome and choose another browser that uses it's own search engine. Any recommendations. I thought I saw a post on "what browsers do you (WTT people) use".
Update;
Manage Add-ons, toolbars & extensions;
No bing toolbar
Java plugin 2 ssv helper enabled
avast online security enabled
hp print enhancer endabled
hp network check helper enabled
hp smart bho class enabled
show or hid hp smart web p... enabled
hp smart web printing enabled
Microsoft live search toolbar disabled (websearched, msoft made bing and enabled it under this search toolbar)
windows live id sign-in helper enabled
messenger companion helper enabled
office document cache handler enabled
messenger companion enabled
blog this in windows live writer enabled
hp network check enabled
send to OneNote enabled
Is all this really needed? Article or software to help me decide or automatically evaluate whether needed or not.
Search providers
bing status is default disabled (search suggestions) disabled (top result) I unchecked box "search in the address bar and the search box on the new tab page. Now I don't get bing doing the searching for google. Should I be adding "search providers"? Recommendations of who if so.
Accelerators
Email
Email with windows live live.com Email Default (I don't know how to change this to Yahoo Mail
Map
Map with Bing bing.com Map Default (Don't know how to change this)
Share
Share with Live Messinger cloudapp.net Share Default (Don't know if I should change this)
Translate
Translate with Bing microsofttranslator.com Translate Default (Again, msoft assoc'n w Bing. Recommendations?)
Is Bing resident on my computer, or is it only coming up off the Internet according to my "defaults"?
Will go thru "programs" and start deleting unused ones. I have checked many times for "toolbars" and can't find any unless hidden.
Startup programs
Downloaded StartupLite. Ran it. Box came up immediately with "SunJavaUpdateSched" with disable box checked. I click continue and immediately another box (and noise) came up " X Error in value: SunJavaUpdateSched". There was an error creating a MSConfig key". Only option was to hit "ok". Another box comes up "All actions executed successfully changes will take effect on restart".
I didn't get a list of anything that got changed. Turned system off then back on. Here was my boot speed (approx.);
From start to login 7 seconds to
Welcome shows up, loading bottom tray, bright blue screen 1:09 to
Loading desktop icons (a lot of them) 1:38 to
Launched IE and now usable for searching 2:20 total time.
To me this looks pretty decent. I could probable kill a lot of Desktop icons from loading and clean up the screen and decrease time.
Have you used Winpatrol and/or Autoruns for helping startup and other features. I know each is different but do overlap to some extent.
I get a lot of Java updates. I clicked to do it and the box came up to install latest version of Java. Again it has a statement to agree to the install highlighted. I try to "read" it to see if anything else (software or toolbars) is being added. It won't respond. I clicked cancel. Do you know if Java includes add-ons or toolbars in their download since I can't see what is going on. Its of course made by Adobe and I'm just being extra careful.
I think that's about it. I'm sure I'm taxing my question-it is. I've always been intrigued with what you all do and your understanding of all this stuff that goes on in PC's. I don't have near the issues with my Mac. That's not to say I wouldn't mind knowing if there's evaluation software available to check its health.
Thanks for all you're doing Fb, it is appreciated.
Fred
