Hjt Log: (emmanuel) Slow Computer


Recommended Posts

Hello there: Brian here ;)

Last night, I figured that I would run AVG Antispyware 7.5, because my computer has been slow of late. This behavior manifests itself the following ways.

1. Websites open slower then normal - seems as if when clicking on a site, it opens, but wants to go back to google.com before the site opens correctly. IE also opens slowly.

2. some links in forum sigs and posts will not open when clicked, while other pages have no problem opening links when clicked.

3. suspect spyware of some sort, but not sure if I cleaned it all:

4. CD Burner sometimes will burn discs with no problems, other times will die and tell me that the correct medium is not in the drive when it actually is, even when I am within the 700 meg limit but not exceeding it.

Here is the HJT Log: will post the AVG report from last night's scan in the next posting Proior to this, I ran Soybot S+D 1.4, and it showed no problems.

I would appreciate it if someone could look at the HJT log and the AVG report and let me know whether I actually got rid of the adsherriff, or if it was just ignored. looks like all the cookies were ignored as well - will run any other scans requested ;)

I really don't wanna have to reinstall windows, as I have at least 5 gigs of data and 10 gig of music - I don't really have a good way to backup my files because my burner works when it wants to and dies other times - maybe something is causing this???

I appreciate any help you could provide!

Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri)

Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd

Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).

Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

Therock247uk:

I just wanted to post a followup to this log. After scanning this machine, and talking to Jeff, I decided to bite the bullet because after tying to start kasperspy, she would not load. I spent about 5 days from the date of my pervious post to backup files, format the machine, get updates, and then began the restore process. My machine is running well, so I will ask you to close this thread, and I may ask for a HJT check in a couple days, which I will retitle.

Thanks ;)
