Please help with my hijackthis file. I have a gateway running windows xp pro and have had very few problems until recently. I do not know what may have caused it. The internet is slow in opening up as well as some programs like photoshop and the folder MyComputer. It also seems as though programs are running in the background. I also am having problems running more than one program at a time…slow.

Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Thank you little eagle for the response. Sorry I didn't get back to you right away as I was on vacation for the past week. I did uninstall the beta version and then did the install as you suggested. I still have a slow computer when I try to access my "My Computer" folder and when I try to change folders when I use the save as feature. I also have a little slowdown when I have a few programs open at one time.

Here is my new log. Please help and thanks for the assistance.

Still not seeing anything. :scratch:


Download and run - ATF Cleaner instructions here.


Flush any DNS caches you have control over.
Two examples are routers that act as proxy nameservers, and versions of Windows that support DNS caching.

The way to fix the router cache is to power cycle the router. The way
to fix XP/Win2K's is to enter the command "ipconfig /flushdns" at a
cmd.exe prompt.

Click start > all programs >accessories >command prompt and type in

ipconfig /flushdns <<

Let me know if this helps.

I ran and cleaned using ATF Cleaner. I din't clear the cache in the router as I didn't know how. Presently, I don't have my router hooked up as I wanted to get this problem resolved first. It's still taking a long time to see My Computer folder as well as load some of my programs like photoshop. Thanks for staying with me on this. I appreciate all you are doing. pop42

Backup Your Registry with ERUNT
  • Please use the following link and scroll down to ERUNT and download it.
    http://aumha.org/freeware/freeware.php
  • For version with the Installer:
    Use the setup program to install ERUNT on your computer
  • For the zipped version:
    Unzip all the files into a folder of your choice.
Click Erunt.exe to backup your registry to the folder of your choice.

Note: to restore your registry, go to the folder and start ERDNT.exe



I recommend you download RegSeeker. Extract it to it's own folder, open and double click RegSeeker.exe to start the program. Maximize the window and click clean registry. Check all sections and click OK. When the scan is complete, verify the backup box in lower left corner is checked and click the select all button, then select all again. Then right click within the search results and select delete. Run it again and again, deleting everything it finds until it finds nothing. Reboot and make sure your programs are working properly, control panel and add/remove programs windows open, etc (basically just do a quick check of everything). In the event anything was 'broken', you can open RegSeeker, click backups and double click any/all files to put the information back. A reboot may be required for the effects to be seen. Reboot When done.

NOTE: To be extra safe you can choose to only remove the items in RED.
Some items may come back because of the programs you have running.
