I think my computer has the flu. At least it acts like I do when this old guy has the flu. Frequently get the message "program not responding". Locks up in word. When on the internet and I click on back it can take up to 15 seconds before the page becomes operable. Most programs including outlook seem to have little annoying quirks. I have run Spybot & Ad-Aware to no avail. Have attempted to download HiJackThis. I downloaded it to my desktop and and try to run HJTSetup.exe and get the following message: " Cannot find the file 'HJTSetup.exe' (or one of it's components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available" Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please be specific with any solutions as I am not the brightest bulb on the block. Thank You!!!!!!!
Hi, and welcome to the forums!
I'm Ben, and I'm going to try and help you with your computer problem. Forum administrators will be checking my recommendations before I post them here, so there may be a slight delay between posts.
The fixes I'm about to suggest are specific to your problems and should only be used for this issue on this machine. They are
not blanket fixes!
Here are some guidelines to follow during the repair process :
1. Please only use
this topic to reply to. Do
not start another thread!
2. If any other issues arise during the repair process, please let me know.
3. The process is not instant. Please continue to review my posts until
I tell you your machine is clear . Remember, the absence of symptoms does not necessarily mean that everything is clear.
4.
If you decide to seek help at another forum let us know . There just aren't enough helpers out there and tying 2 of us up is a waste of time.
5. If you have
any questions about any advice given here please
STOP and ask!
Thank you. I will follow your directions
Hi lilriver! Sorry for the long delay.
Please download the
VB6 Runtimes and install them. Afterwards, try running the HijackThis install program again.
Once you've done that, run HijackThis and post a log here. If you need help, there are
instructions here .
I have done as you requested and still get the same message as previously mentioned. " Cannot find the file 'HJTSetup.exe' (or one of it's components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available"
Ok Finally got it. Here is the log:

Hi lilriver,
According to your log, your machine looks fine. You do, however, have a lot of programs running at once, which can eat up your system resources.
Here are some
optional fixes you can perform if you want to help speed up your computer:
Run HijackThis and
fix some or all of the following entries:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Window Title = Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by CenturyTel
Again, these are not bad entries, they are optional "weight" you can drop to let your computer run smoother .
Download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Double-click
ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose:
Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click
No at the prompt.)
It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time.
Also, you may want to have a look at
this link . It has some helpful advice for streamlining your PC.
Let me know what you decide to do, and how your computer is running after doing any of them.
You say Run HijackThis and fix some or all of the following entries:
How do I fix? Remember I said I am not the brightest bulb.
lilriver,
After you run HijackThis, place checkmarks next to the entries that I've indicated. Then press the
Fix button. HijackThis will do the rest.
