Hi,

My computer has recently started to slow down. Surfing with IE & FF now down to a crawl.

Could you please take a look at my log file and advise please?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Wheelieboy

My name is mschroe919, and I am going to read your log and see what can be done.
I will be back shortly and while I am gone you can start with this:

First of all do not delete anything unless asked and also don't run
any other clesan up programs while we are fixing your log.


FRST:

NEXT:
Lets show all file like this:
Windows XP

* Click Start.
* Open My Computer.
* Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
* Select the View Tab.
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
* Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
* Click Yes to confirm.
* Click OK.

NEXT:

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.

Download Here:

HERE


This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NEXT:
While TeaTimer is an excellent tool for the prevention of spyware, it can sometimes prevent HijackThis from fixing certain things.
Please disable TeaTimer for now until you are clean. TeaTimer can be re-activated once your HijackThis log is clean.

* Open Spybot Search & Destroy.
* In the Mode menu click "Advanced mode" if not already selected.
* Choose "Yes" at the Warning prompt.
* Expand the "Tools" menu.
* Click "Resident".
* Uncheck the "Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of overall system settings) active." box.
* In the File menu click "Exit" to exit Spybot Search & Destroy.
NEXT:
Please do a online scan:
Lets do a on line scan
if something can't be cleaned make note of it and let me know
do the scan here:and follow the promote

Download HERE


NEXT:

After scan reboot and do this:
run Spybot search & destroy.

If you have any question please ask

after spybot reboot and post a new HJT log
and any log from F-secure

Good luck
mschroe919

Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop and post it in your next reply along with a fresh HijackThis log

Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan
Good luck mschroe919

Hi mschroe919,

Many thanks for you prompt reply, it's much appreciated.

Ok, I've done what you suggested, however, when running the online scan it kept failing telling me there was not enough memory!? I had no other programs open and tried 3 times, but after about 3 hours it would fail with the memory error.

Everything else has been done, and here is my lates log for you.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi mschroe919,

Ok, I've followed your advice, unfortunately AVG Anti-Spyware didn't produce any reports. I ran it twice (which, as you said, did take some considerable time) and it picked up about 6 tracking cookies (which it deleted), but when I went to the reports there were no reports to save!? The settings were as per your instructions, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Anyway, all other tasks were carried out and here is my latest log file.

Again, many thanks for you help and I look forward to your reply.

Hi Wheelieboy, Looking over your log I don't see anything bad. The only thiog I ask is how much ram memory do you have? When you ran the system security suite? and if you did, did you lock any of the autorun tasks? The reason I ask is there are some of the start up on lines 04 that take up a lot of resourses, that you don't need running in the background. If you lock them all it does is stops them fro stating up at boot up. You don't loose the programs just freeing up some memory. Other than that I see no virese or maleware. when you ran spybot S&D did it find anything? Let me know how you PC is behaving. mschroe919

Hi mschroe919,

Thanks for the reply.

I have 1Gb of RAM.
3S and S & D reports were clean, which is good, but the computer is still pretty sluggish (especially with IE).

You mentioned that I have some start ups that are eating away at my resources, so I've turned off the ones I know I don't need, but are there any others that I could disable (without causing a problem) from the latest log (below)?

Failing that I think I may need to bite the bullet and go and upgrade to 2GB Ram.

Many thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

Hi Hi Wheelieboy,
Sorry I am late getting back

Hi mschroe919, Many thanks for your reply. I will disable the start ups you listed and see if there's any improvement. Failing that I will upgrade to 2GB RAM. Many thanks for your help, it really is appreciated. :thumbup: Best regards, WheelieBoy.

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.
===================================================================
NEXT:
Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:

8. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.

Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
====================================================================

AVG Anti-Virus (Free version available) http://www.grisoft.com/

Update your Anti Virus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Anti virus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
============================================================
NEXT:

Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.
If you don't have one see link below for a free firewall:

====================================================================

Install SpywareBlaster

========================================================================

Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.

Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.
