Post #1
I recently stood up a new PC and transferred most data and applications to it from my old box. I would like to request that my HJT log be reviewed primarily for any possible malware. Lacking that (hopefully), I would like to know what startup programs can be disabled. In viewing my system processes, there are more than 60 items, which seems to be excessive. Also, the only entries I see in my HJT log which are of note are:

O11 - Options group: [INTERNATIONAL] International*

Thanks,

Welcome to Tom Coyote :)

I don't see anything spyware/malware related in your log

The 2 items you mentionedO11 - Options group: [INTERNATIONAL] International*
Can be deleted. It is not an infectionO16 - DPF: {E7D2588A-7FB5-47DC-8830-832605661009} (Live Collaboration) - https://livewc01.custhelp.com/7530-b327h-qu…l/java/RntX.cab
Is related toRight Now Technologies
http://www.rightnow.com/
If you are fimilar with this company and use their services then I would leave it. If you are not then Delete it.

These 2 are not required at startupO4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09\bin\jusched.exe"
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Creative Detector] "C:\Program Files\Creative\MediaSource\Detector\CTDetect.exe" /R
If you wish to remove the items discussed, then

Rerun Hijackthis (scan only) and place checks beside the entries listed
Close all other open windows except Hijackthis and Select "Fix checked"

Close Hijackthis->>Reboot your PC

On a side note, this line R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://forums.spywareinfo.com/
Maybe you will consider making Tom Coyote Forums a Main,Start Page :wavey:
