Time for a tune up?

Here's my log. I'm running AVG, AdAware and Spybot. I haven't noticed a degredation in performance or anything fishy but it's been a while so I thought it best to get a tune up. As always, I certainly appreciate your time and efforts. Thanks!

Thanks Ken545! Agree…I gotta get SP2 onboard. I had a bad go of it last time I tried and ended up having to get Dell on the phone to unfreeze my computer. A bit gunshy but I know I have to do it sooner or later. Here's the log, with HJT in it's own file:

Hello Again rotrhed,

I don't see anything bad on your system. I am going to give you some tips and links to free programs that will keep your system nice and tight and keep you out of trouble. I am also going to give you a link for obtaining Service Pack 2 on a CD, free from MIcrosoft, maybe it will be easier for you to install it rather that go through the download.

*Run CCleaner, this is a very safe program that will clean out all the crapola on your system. It will also remove cookies,
so go to OPTIONS/ COOKIES and move the ones you want to keep from the left window to the right window.

Now that your clean, we need to erase all possible older infected files that may still be lurking on your system.
clean out your TEMP FILES

* This procedure should be run from SAFEMODE for better results.

To Enter SAFEMODE

* Go to START/ SHUT OF YOUR COMPUTER/ RESTART
* As the computer starts to boot-up, Tap the F8 KEY somewhat rapidly, this will bring up a menu.
* Use the UP AND DOWN ARROW KEYS to scroll up to SAFEMODE
* Then press the ENTER KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD

Now, while in SAFEMODE,

* click on START/ RUN , and type %temp% and press the ok button.

This will open up the temp directory that your machine uses. GO TO EDIT/ SELECT ALL and delete all the contents of that folder.
* Do this for each user of your computer.
* Do this same process for %windir%\temp.

NOW RE-BOOT NORMALLY

DELETE TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES

* Open INTERNET EXPLORER
* Click on the TOOLS MENU
* Then INTERNET OPTIONS
* At the GENERAL TAB, (which should be the first tab you are currently on),
* click on the DELETE FILES BUTTON and put a checkmark in DELETE ALL OFFLINE CONTENT.
* Then press the OK BUTTON . This may take quite a while, so do not be alarmed with how long it takes.
* When it is done, your Temporary Internet Files will now be deleted.

Now Empty your Recycle Bin

Now we need to TURN OFF and then TURN BACK ON SYSTEM RESTORE.

This will remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent
any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points
which are likely to be infected)


Turn off System Restore.

* On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
* Click Properties.
* Click the System Restore tab.
* Check Turn off System Restore.
* Click Apply, and then click OK.


Reboot your System


Turn ON System Restore.

* On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
* Click Properties.
* Click the System Restore tab.
* UN-Check Turn off System Restore.
* Click Apply, and then click OK.
* Now while in System Restore, create a new Restore Point.

* Make sure that your ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE is up to date and run a full scan at least once aweek.
* If you want to use a free program, try this excellent one.
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

* Run SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY 1.4 > CHECK FOR UPDATES > IMMUNIZE and run a full system scan on a regular basis.
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html

* Run AD-AWARE SE PERSONAL/ CHECK FOR UPDATES and run a FULL SYSTEM SCAN on a regular basis.
http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910…page&tag;=button

* Download and run SPYWARE BLASTER,
* Check for updates and enable all protection. This program will just sit in the background and help keep all the bad guys out.
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/

* Download and install WINPATROL
* This program will warn you when any changes are being made to your system and give you the option to deny the change.
http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html

* IE-SPYAD is a one time install, it will put 1000s of bad sites in your IE Restricted Zone.
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_down…23332&fileidx;=1

* WINDOWS UPDATES - Enable Automatic Updates
Right click on MY COMPUTER/ GO TO PROPERTIES/ AUTOMATIC UPDATES and put a mark in the radio button
DOWNLOAD UPDATES FOR ME BUT LET ME CHOOSE WHEN TO INSTALL THEM.

* Consider surfing the net with the FireFox Browser You can download via my signature.It has more features and is a lot
more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.
When it asks you if you want it to be your default browser, say NO and take the checkmark out of the box to ask you again. After you
use this for awhile, you will want to make it your default.
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

* There companion THUNDERBIRD MAIL program was highly favored in PCWorld Magazine,, this to has a good spam filter
and is more secure than Outlook Express.
http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/

* Now go to START/ CONTROL PANEL/ PERFROMANCE AND MAINTENANCE/ REARRANGE ITEMS ON YOUR HARD DISK TO MAKE PROGRAMS RUN FASTER
This is the Windows Disk Defragger, run this maybe once or twice a month to keep your system running good.
The first time you run it, it may take awhile.

* Here is the link for the CD for SP2. It is really vital to the security of your system to have this installed. There are also more updates after SP2, so make sure you keep your system up to date.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa…us/default.mspx

Good idea to stop by every so often and make sure that your clean. There is so much bad stuff floating aroung, you really need to be on your guard.

Thanks for using Tom Coyote and thanks again for your patience.

Ken
