Post #1
I have been having a hard time trying to play some of my games mostly my SIMS 2 and I don't know why, so I decided to post my log to see if maybe something is wrong. Please help..

Welcome to the foruim :wavey:

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AlcxMonitor] ALCXMNTR.EXE

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime

Then click "Fix checked" and close Hijack This!.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis! log file into this thread.

I see these in the log:

C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\~e5.0001
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\~e5.0001
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\~e5.0001
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\~e5.0001
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\~e5.0001

Those are Sims related….

Not sure if the multiple instances of it are your problem…
:scratch:

Were you running the Sims game when you made your first HijackThis! log?
:unsure:
