This is my father-in-laws HJT log. He picked up something weird today(O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [zzz_ImInstaller_IncrediMail] C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\ImInstaller\IncrediMail\incredimail_install[1].exe -startup -product IncrediMail) in particular. How can I get rid of this? Any help is always appreciated!!

Welcome to What the Tech

You don't seem to be running a firewall. If you're not running any firewall or are not sure please follow these instructions to turn Windows Firewall on.

Click on the Windows Start button in the left hand corner of your screen.
Go to Control Panel or settings Control Panel
Double click on Windows Firewall
The two main options are On and Off.
Check to see if there's a checkmark next to On and if not please select it.

Please now let me know if you are using Windows Firewall or another one.

Although Incredimail is considered to be a legitimate program that people install intentionally, please read this information regarding Incredimail very carefully and use you best judgment in deciding if you want to keep this program on your computer or not.
The use of Incredimail opens your system to attacks, and in the User Agreement, claims permanent ownership of everything sent through their mail service. See the full article. I highly recommend you uninstall it.
If you want to uninstall it please follow these instructions:

Big speed issues. I cannot figure out what is slowing this computer down. Plus this(O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [zzz_ImInstaller_IncrediMail] C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\LocalSettings\Temp\ImInstaller\IncrediMail\incredimail_install[1].exe -startup -product IncrediMail) will not go away but if it is not a threat I will not worry about it. Any tips on the ol' slow computer issue?( I have read and done most of the things listed in the self help post). Thank you again for all your help!!

I'll try and help you with the slowness of your computer but first let's try and remove that file that wont go away.

Download Killbox

Open Killbox.exe

We are going to use it to delete a file. It is very important that you do NOT reboot until you have added the file to be deleted.
(I will have a file list for you further down this post)

In Killbox add a check next to Replace on Reboot

Then copy and paste the full path into the Killbox topmost box.

With the full path to the file name in the topmost textbox, click the option Use Dummy which will create a numbered dummy file instantly for you.

Click the Red X …and for the confirmation message that will appear, you will need to click Yes
A second message will ask to Reboot now? you will need to click No (since you are not finished adding the related file in yet)

Now for the file list. Remember you need to enter the entire path and check the "use dummy" box for each file.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\ImInstaller\IncrediMail\incredimail_install[1].exe

Please let me know if you had any problems deleting the file with Killbox.

Now please post a new HijackThis log.

Just because the entry is still there doesn't mean the file is. It looks like the file was successfully removed when you first ran Killbox and you got that error message when you ran it the second time because the file had already been deleted. As for speed issues, I will get back to you later about some possible options that might help.

Open up HijackThis, do a System Scan and select the following entries(if present)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [zzz_ImInstaller_IncrediMail] C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\ImInstaller\IncrediMail\incredimail_install[1].exe -startup -product IncrediMail
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSConfig] C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe /auto

Optional
These are some items that if they don't run at startup may speed up your computer.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [KBD] C:\HP\KBD\KBD.EXE
For HP computers, not needed if you don't use the Multimedia keys.
http://www.castlecops.com/s1756-KBD.html

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Drag'n'Drop_Autolaunch] "C:\Program Files\Iomega\Iomega HotBurn Pro\Autolaunch.exe"
Not needed if you don't use the Drag'n'Drop feature for Iomega HotBurn.
http://www.castlecops.com/s1004-DragnDrop_Autolaunch.html

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ISUSPM Startup] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\UPDATE~1\ISUSPM.exe -startup
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ISUSScheduler] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\UpdateService\issch.exe" -start
Searches for updates to its software, generally not really needed.
http://www.castlecops.com/s5446-ISUSPM_Startup.html
http://www.castlecops.com/s5445-ISUSScheduler.html
Then close all other windows (you can keep the current browser window open if you like) and press Fix checked and close the program.

Now please reboot and post a new HJT log. Also let me know how much RAM your computer has and how much space is left on C drive.

Logs to include in your reply
HJT

If you still need help and haven't already followed my previous instructions please do so, if you have followed and done them and still need help please post the results.

Here is the log. Kept the Iomega program because the mother-in-law uses it regularly.

So currently would you say that you are still having significant speed issues or just a slightly slow computer? Also how much RAM does the computer have and how much disk space does it have left on the main drive(I say this as I don't know whether the computer has more than one drive, not including external ones)?
