Welcome to Tom Coyote . Sorry about the delay in responding but we are as most times just overwhelmed with logs.


This forum is for the removal of malware and viruses, not for speeding up computers , I see a pretty clean log, just a few things to fix. I suggest you read this, post back if you feel you have a malware problem with a new HJT log

Speedup Windows Windows Tips

Open HijackThis > Do a System Scan Only, close your browser and all open windows, the only program or window you should have open is HijackThis, check the following entries and click on Fix Checked.

  • Your Java is out of date and leaving your system vulnerable.
  • Go to your Add-Remove Programs in the Control Panel and uninstall any previous versions of Java (J2SE Runtime Environment)
  • It should have an icon next to it:
    [external image: Posted Image]
    Select it and click Remove.
  • Reboot your system.
  • Then go to the Sun Java website and download and install the update.
  • Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 10 <–This is what you need to download and install.
  • If you chose the online installation, it will prompt you to run the program.
  • If you chose the offline installation, you will be prompted to save the file and you can run it from wherever you saved it.
  • Then after install you can verify your installation here Sun Java Verify
I like to to do the offline installation and save the setup file in case I may need it in the future

Ken, Thanks for all your help. I followed through with those great links you provided (I particularly like the majorgeeks link re: turning off running processes) and things do indeed appear to be running a bit smoother and faster. Thanks again, Steve Schilbe
