My PC is very slow (XP Pro), I almost run completely out of memory ( I have 1GB).

I am trying to get rid of few StartUp files - itemes below:

O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [GrpConv] grpconv -o
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [c_usdir] cmd /C "rmdir /Q C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Download"
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [b_usexe] cmd /C "del C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Download\Download.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [a_usdll] cmd /C "del C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Download\Download.dll"

1. I have run HijackThis
2. I fix checked those 4 itemes
3. I turned off system restore
4. Rboot

But all came back.

Here is my Logfile of HijackThis:

Please hep me - What to do next??!!

hi plony,

you have any idea what those are from? 3 look like something from macromedia?
ive never seen anything like that though.
can you uncheck them in startup control panel, so they dont start with windows?
can you find them in the system32 dir.?

shelf life
Post #7
No, I have no idea where they came from.

I had already done this a few times (uncheck them in startup control panel) but they keep coming again after reboot.

I even removed them with HijackThis but still they came again.

If you could noticed, the first three are CMD Del commands that's why,
I believe, I can't find them in the system32 dir.
Post #8
did you try enabling all file view in xp? then look in system32 dir. FOr XP: on the desktop double click my computer,go to tools>folder options>view> then select "show hidden files and folders", then UNcheck "hide protected operating system files " also UNcheck "hide extensions for known file types" click apply to all folders, apply then ok

I have done this but can't see them.

Here are the first two screenshots of my C:\WINDOWS\system32

hi plony, do this: go to start>run and type in regedit. In the left hand pane click on the plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE, then the plus sign next to software, then microsoft, then windows, then current version and last on the Run folder. To the right is the software that starts when the user logs on to windows. first see if you see those entries then, first backup the registry then right click and you should be able to delete those entries. shelf life
Post #14
go down one more to the run once folder. see if its in there. ive never seen this before but its most likely harmless, a left over registry entry not malware or anything- normally something hjt can get rid of. shelf life
