HJT Log--TaskSwitcher.exe removed

Please take a look at the log below and let me if I still have a problem. This computer is about 8 weeks old, but two user profiles from an older machine were copied in full using the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. The OS is MS Media Center 2005. The virus scanner is Grisoft AVG and it is current as of today. The firewall is Sygate Personal Firewall Pro. It is also current as of today.

The computer seemed to be running unusually slow today. Windows Explorer windows were "Not Responding" for minutes at a time. It took two or three minutes from a CTRL-ALT-DELETE until the Windows Task Manager came up.

So I ran Spybot. It found only tracking cookies. AdAware found additional tracking cookies plus SearchFast. Windows Defender did not call out any threats, but the Software Explorer showed that TaskSwitcher.exe was configured to startup. Since that could be WORM_RBOT.BY, I removed it with Windows Defender and verified that none of the registry entries associated with WORM_RBOT.BY were present. The log below was run at the conclusion of all that activity.

Thanks,

Gary Martin
