Hey everyone. The title says it all. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me out here. The whole family uses this computer, so it seems to accumulate a lot of junk. Some of these popups that have been coming up have also been quite unappropriate if you know what I mean, especially for the younger people in the family...so I would really appreciate any help you guys can give. Have tried the usual Adaware and SpyBot fixes to no avail. Thanks!!

Hello SAABMan, Welcome to the forum.

I suggest you do this:

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Clear "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, select "Show hidden files and folders."
Clear "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.

[SAABMan]

Hi.
Thanks for the really quick reply!

I followed your instructions.

Current Behavior: Computer now seems to run faster, and CPU useage seems lower (based upon a small sample, since I have just used the computer for 5-10 minutes since doing the fixes). However, while it seems to run faster, the booting up of Windows (like once the desktop shows, and the icons and trays are being populated) still seems quite slow.

Thanks for any additional help!

Did you remove Grisoft AVG7? There are a couple entries in you log that still show it on your system.

I believe I uninstalled it, since I now have McAfee on here. It's not coming up in the list of add/remove programs. Would the remnants of it that you are speaking of cause any problems?
