:angry: my system is now running very slow( it wasnt about a week and a half ago) and the first thing i found is that something is resetting my properties for my cookies folder. it is setting it to read only and everytime i fix it, it changes it back . it also seems to be making duplicates of files

this is my hjt log from just about 5 min ago.

I suggest you do this:


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.


With AVG Anti-Spyware, if you click on the Infections icon, then it will show you all the items in Quarrantine and you can remove them that way. Just click Select All (if all of the items in quarrantine need removing) then Remove Finally


Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AlcxMonitor] ALCXMNTR.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [gwiz] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntsystem.exe
O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe
O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler.exe
O4 - Startup: Sid Registration.lnk = E:\ATR1.exe
O20 - Winlogon Notify: dmdg32 - dmdg32.dll (file missing)

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"



Delete these Files if listed:
C:\WINDOWS\ALCXMNTR.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntsystem.exe
E:\ATR1.exe

Empty Recycle Bin

Next:

* Download Combofix to your desktop.
Doubleclick combo.exe
Follow the prompts.
Don't click on the window while the fix is running, because that will cause your system to hang.

When finished, it should produce a log, combofix.txt.
Post this log in your next reply together with a new hijackthislog.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file and the combofix.txt. into this thread.
