I have posted the log file below. This seems to be an issue when starting Windows and it also eats resources on the boot up because it takes forever to complete the loading of the services. Can someone check this out and help… Im a network guru, not a Registry guy….Thanks in advance.

I solved my own problem, thanks anyways. I picked the registry as I don't like to do, but was able to remove the "MSW" keys and entries this way. I also noticed that the new version of "ATT Yahoo" software issued by ATT is a serious resource HOG. Especially when you really don't even need to run their browser/software to connect to the Internet. For those of you who use Yahoo software I would suggest sticking to whatever original version you started out with… Remember, you can always update your browser some other way from the creeator of you browser software, not through third party builds….

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Sorry about the delay in responding :(

There are items that were showing in your log besides what you fixed that need to be removed.

If you still need help, Scan again with HijackThis, and copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Please use the [external image: Posted Image] Button below to reply. Thanks

I want to say thanks for your reply LD….. I know you guys /gals have alot of logs and threads to chew away at on this forum. This computer belongs to a friend of mine and after she paid Hp a slew of money they still didn't fix anything and this is how it ended up in my lap.. Then she turned around and asked her internet provider to help since that was mostly her problem when browsing the internet and sometimes the computer hangs… They couldn't help and also pushed a copy of their new browsing software package (ATT Yahoo, etc..) and she states that is when her problem started. I told her however that it was more than that. After reviewing the Hijack this log and booting the box for the first time, I knew that there was more going on than that. Sometimes it would hang once everything finished loading to the desktop and not allow you to work at all…….I did pick the registry for certain things that I was not able to UnInstall. It seems that MyWebSearch and that Search -O -Matic ran a "RunOnce" statement after installing and it deleted the UnInstall log. Therefore any attempts to UnInstall would always fail and I guess she was stuck with that software/slyware carp** in her sys processes running and chewing system resources. In addition to that, I noticed 2 AV progs running(UnInstalled one), the O10 statements for New.net were also removed. The Nview entry for this machine was never needed. Dont understand why she installed Nview when the computer runs on an Onboard Intel based graphics chipset running Intel drivers. I unInstalled All AT&T Yahoo services and waited until the box seemed to boot fine and reinstalled that garbage for her and it seemed to run fine except for that yahoo music chews alot of memory when running. So, after it seemed to run fine I went ahead and scanned again and also did a virus scan and it was running good so I returned it to her. I didnt save the final log file. I do appr. you reply and if there was something that you saw that I missed, please kindly reply back and let me know. Im sure I might have missed something. Two sets of eyes are always better than one.. I do check these from time to time and enjoy seeing the posts to see if Ive come across any problems like the ones posted and what I did to clean them. I work @ IBM but I do Networking (Routers/Firewalls/Switches etc..) type work and everyone seems to bring me there problem machines because no one else can fix them. So, I googled that one Error loading statement and found your forums here. I will be checking these pages out from time to time looking at problems as I do on the Cisco Professional connect web site. Again, let me know if there was anything else that you saw that I missed that I haven't already annotated up above in this reply…. Thanks in advance ….L8trz … |The|Warlock|
