My internet has been running awfully slow since yesterday and I don't know what's going on with it.
So I'm assuming a have some sort of spyware infection, though my computer hasn't detected anything malicious for recently.

Here's my HiJack file:

Hello OmegaUltima

Welcome to the Whatthetech Malware Removal Forum

Your log looks fine :thumbup: although you have ViewPoint installed, its not malicious but installs without your knowledge or consent, uses system resources and basically is a worthless not needed program.

First do this.

Open HijackThis > Do a System Scan Only, close your browser and all open windows including this one, the only program or window you should have open is HijackThis, check the following entries and click on Fix Checked.

O23 - Service: Viewpoint Manager Service - Viewpoint Corporation - C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Common\ViewpointService.exe

Then uninstall Viewpoint from the Add Remove Programs in the Control Panel.




Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune to your desktop.
  • 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.
Your system may start up slower after running ATF Cleaner, this is expected but will be back to normal after the first or second boot up



Your running an outdated version of HJT, drag it to the trash and download and install the latest version by Trendmicro and post a new log, if there is still nothing showing up I can link you to some tech support forums that deal with slow computers, we just do malware removal in this one.

Download Trendmicros Hijackthis to your desktop.
Double click it to install
Follow the prompts and by default it will install in C:\Program Files\Trendmicro\Hijackthis\Highjackthis.exe

  • Open HJT Scan and Save a Log File, it will open in Notepad
  • Go to Format and make sure Wordwrap is Unchecked
  • Go to Edit> Select All…..Edit > Copy and Paste the new log into this thread by using the Post Reply and not start a New Thread.
DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Hello,

Still nothing earth shattering on your new log.

Open HijackThis > Do a System Scan Only, close your browser and all open windows including this one, the only program or window you should have open is HijackThis, check the following entries and click on Fix Checked.

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = about:blank

These two are your option, games do tend to slow a system down, they use a ton of system resources.
