I have been suffering from slow performance for a few weeks on my computer. It started when i attempted to empty the recycle bin one day and the system crashed. It locked up and would not reboot. Would go only so far and then lock up before windows normal or safe mode finished loading. After doing some research on another computer I was able to reset the cmos and would boot. From what I understood a file that told the computer where all the hardware was located and what it was got corrupted and reseting the cmos caused it to be rebuilt. I then figured the slower performance was due to my bios default settings so I updated my motherboard bios and was going to tweak it, but really wasn't any setting that seemed to be an issue so I left them at default. I have since run adaware, spybot, ewido and all found and removed some spyware. I have received a message from My norton that I had a virus pmkhi.dll but it could not do anything with it. I later ran AVG and am currently running panda. AVG and panda both found and fixed some things but neither mentioned the pmkhi.dll. I am posting this log to clear my computer of any spyware (needs doing anyway), but I expect my performance my be do to another issue. Just wanted to give the full details and thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry for the delay :(

This program:O23 - Service: Kiwi Syslog Daemon - Kiwi Enterprises - c:\program files\syslogd\syslogd_service.exe
is a legitimate program, however the research I've found regarding syslogd has not been good. In most cases where the program is mentioned on various spyware boards it is linked to some of the problems you have indicated. Slow performance and trouble running various programs. Whether you decide to uninstall it, is of course up to you. But I thought I would bring it to your attention.

Not much showing up in your log as far as infections go. Let's do this

Run an online virus scan called Kaspersky from HERE.1. Click on "Kaspersky Online Scanner"
2. A new smaller window will pop up. Press on "Accept". After reading the contents.
3. Now Kaspersky will update the anti-virus database. Let it run.
4. Click on "Next"->>"Scan Settings", and make sure the database is set to "extended". And check both the scan options. Then click OK.
5. Then click on "My Computer". And the scan will start.
6. Once finished, save a log as ".txt" to the desktop.
Copy and post the results of the Kaspersky Online scan

thanks bamajim

here is the Kaspersky scan report. Dont worry about the delay I had been out of town part of the time anyway. :D I disabled Kiwi. My friend that is teaching me about networking uses it but I dont really need it at this time so I didnt uninstall it but did turn the service to manual. If you need anything else let me know.

I'm showing 3 programs that are infected, and in 3 locations. One of which seems to be a location where a boot disc was created

K:\programs\solarwinds\SolarWinds Broadband Engineers\setup.exe WiseSFX: infected - 1 skipped

I recommend that these programs be uninstalled

Next Using Windows Explorer(Right click on "Start," select "Explore," and you will see the "tree' of file folders in the left side of the window. Click on the "+" next to any folder name to expand its contents)
Locate and delte the foldersC:\Program Files\SolarWinds
D:\programs\kiwi
D:\programs\ultimate boot cd
K:\programs\solarwinds
If these programs are something you need, then I would recommend that clean copies be downloaded to replace them. But as I know of no way of cleaning these programs without ruining there ability to function

Please let me know what you decide

thanks bamajim

I can remove all of them. The boot cd was a file I downloaded but never installed or tried and anything on K: drive is a backup of the other drives. I will remove them as soon as I get the chance. After uninstalling them and deleting should I run another scan and post or hjt. thanks again for the help.

Appologies for the delay

Just a little cleanup

sc delete "Kiwi Syslog Daemon"
Click File ->>Save as ->>type in cmd.batUnder "Save as type" Select "all files" ->>Save it to your Desktop
Close Notepad
The cmd.bat file should now appear on your Desktop
Double Click that file (It will appear that nothing has happened, but that's o.k.)
Next Re Run Hijackthis (scan only) and place checks beside the following entriesO2 - BHO: (no name) - {B132D8DF-7270-48E4-952B-AF0800B08DEE} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {C7A46215-9B5A-43A5-BD24-A89A5CFC4CFC} - (no file)
O23 - Service: Kiwi Syslog Daemon - Kiwi Enterprises - c:\program files\syslogd\syslogd_service.exe
Close all other open windows except Hijackthis and Select "Fix checked"

Next Using Windows Explorer(Right click on "Start," select "Explore," and you will see the "tree' of file folders in the left side of the window. Click on the "+" next to any folder name to expand its contents)
Locate and Delete the following folderc:\program files\syslogd

It seems to be a bit better but still mp3's are skipping when I do anything else. Still much slower than before the problems started on the internet, opening documents (word, excel, etc) and similar tasks. Again it may be hardware related. It doesn't seem that I had a huge spyware problem from what you have had me do. Again thanks and any additional advice is appreciated. Below is the current HJT scan.

I don't see anything that would cause some of the problems you are having. I don't think I can help with the mp3 skipping.

One thing to do a general cleanup to see if you can speed things up a little

Download CCleaner from here to clean temp files from your computer.
  • Double click on the file to start the installation of the program.
  • Select your language and click OK, then next.
  • Read the license agreement and click I Agree.
  • Click next to use the default install location. Click Install then finish to complete installation.
  • Double click the CCleaner shortcut on the desktop to start the program.
  • On the "Windows" tab, under "Internet Explorer," uncheck "Cookies" if you do not want them deleted. (If deleted, you will likely need to reenter your passwords at all sites where a cookie is used to recognize you when you visit).
  • If you use either the Firefox or Mozilla browsers, the box to uncheck for "Cookies" is on the Applications tab, under Firefox/Mozilla.
  • Click on the "Options" icon at the left side of the window, then click on "Advanced."
    deselect "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours."
  • Click on the "Cleaner" icon on the left side of the window, then click Run Cleaner to run the program.
  • Caution: It is not recommended that you use the "Issues" feature unless you are very familiar with the registry as it has been known to find legitimate items.
  • After CCleaner has completed its process, click Exit.
As far as the applications opening slowly, is there one giving more problem than another?
