Hello and welcome to the forums

Not seeing anyting bad in the log but that doesn't always mean something isn't bad.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner»

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.

Next:

Download the trial version of AVG Anti-Spyware from here and install it. When the program has been installed, and you click the Finish button, AVG Anti-Spyware will open.

If the program does not automatically update itself during installation, or you are unsure whether it has done so, please do the following:
  • Click the Update icon at the top and under Manual Update click the Start update button.
  • The program will either update or inform you that no update was available.
  • It is essential that you get the update - keep trying until successful. (Note: If you have problems getting the update, you can download an installer for the full database from here (save it on your desktop). Once you have downloaded the installer, make sure that AVG Anti-Spyware is closed and then double-click on avgas-signatures-full-current.exe to install the database).
Please set up the program as follows:
  • Click the Shield icon at the top and under Resident shield is… click active. This should now
    change to inactive.
  • Click the Update icon and untick the automatic update option.
  • Click on Scanner on the toolbar.
  • Click on the Settings tab.
  • Under How to act? - make sure that Quarantine is selected.
  • Under How to scan? - All checkboxes should be ticked.
  • Under Possibly unwanted software - All checkboxes should be ticked.
  • Under Reports - Select Do not automatically generate reports.
  • Under What to scan? - Select Scan every file.
Close all open windows.
Do not run a scan yet.

programs while AVG Anti-Spyware is scanning, it may interfere with the scanning proccess:

  • Lauch AVG Anti-Spyware by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
  • Select the "Scanner" icon at the top and then the "Scan" tab
    then click on "Complete System Scan".
  • ewido will now begin the scanning process, be patient this may take a little
    time.
  • Let the program scan your computer.
  • When the scan has finished, follow the instructions below:
    • Make sure that Set all elements to: shows Quarantine
    • Important: Click on the Apply all Actions button (*** This must done before saving the report ***)
    • When the program has finished, it will display the message All actions have been applied.
    • Then click the Save Scan Report button.
    • Click the Save Report as button.
    • Save the report to your Desktop.
    • Right-click the AVG Tray Icon and select Exit. Confirm by clicking Yes.

Hi LD, Had recently uninstalled HP drivers for a 2610 Officejet and installed for a newer 6310. Unfortunately this completely froze the computer, and had to reboot in "Safe Mode" and uninstall the software. (Surprisingly, after the Safe Mode Uninstall, the problems went away and the new printer seems to work fine…thought I would have to reinstall the software…) The following day, started to receive messages from Norton Antivirus that it had found and quarrantined a "Screen Eating Trojan". This message kept coming back for a few days despite performing full scans (which found nothing). Windows and other applications started to slow down, parts of screens would show up when launching something and then with a delay the rest of the screen would fill in and app would run fine. A day later, Norton Antivirus would come up wanting to have something fixed. When you told it to "fix itself", it would go out to look for updates, go thru the entire list, download, but never reset itself as "OK". No amount of automatic updates would result in Norton being "OK". At the moment, it appears that things have settled down. Haven't seen the "Screen Eating Trojan" message for a few days, and your suggestion to use the ATF Cleaner somehow reset Norton so that it is "OK" and no longer continuing to expect an update to "fix". Haven't opened a lot of other apps, but from the few I have opened, they seem to be showing up "as expected". I will say that the boot process seems to have slowed down a bit from a cold boot. Maybe the "strange behavior" on some apps was due to the Norton Antivirus not being happy (know that when you open a file, it requests a Virus Scan…). Certainly was looking over my shoulder after the Screen Eating Trojan messages… This may have been easier than you expected!! Let me know if you think we need anything else. If not, I GREATLY appreciate your help. Thx, Brent

Lets run this and see if all is good.
This takes some time to run so let it finish.

Download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.
  • Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you, combofix.txt.Post that log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply
Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall

Am heading out on travel, so may not be able to take a look at your response till Wednesday. Let me know if there is anything else you think needs to be done. Computer still seems to be running slow…especially from a cold boot.

Thx,

I'm not seeing anything bad in your log. I suggest you read this:

Help! My computer is slow!
I think you'll see Norton's is the biggest issue.

You can remove any programs / Tools I had you install. Use Add/Remove Programs to remove if listed there otherwise just delete them and empty recycle bin.

Log looks good :D


You need to create a new Clean restore point.

Note: This will remove all previous Restore Points

Turn off System Restore:

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Restart your computer, turn it back on.

On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Remove the Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.



If you dont have any programs like these, I would recommend that you get them.
Spywareblaster,
Spywareguard.


Also get a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

Only run one Anti-Virus and Firewall program.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.

Do not use Ad-aware if you have McAfee's VirusScan and AntiSpyware


Safe Surfing. :D

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
