PC sluggish, HJ this log

[Bullman]

My brother has been noticing his pc has started to run sluggishly. He has scanned with Spybot, Adaware and done an AV scan, all clean. I am going to go over and take a look at it when I get a chance, so I had him run Hi-jack this and e-mail me the log to post. If you can look over this and see if there is any malware, we can start there.

Your log looks clean, but this suggests that he may have been running Kazaa and that means there could be more deeply imbedded malware:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [P2P Networking] C:\WINDOWS\system32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe /AUTOSTART

Other than running deeper scans, like RootkitRevealer, there isn't much else to do to explore malware options... I would certainly try an online virus scan and a trojan scan...

[Bullman]

Thanks Budfred. I know I made sure he stays away from Kazaa, but I know he had been trying WinMX. I don't know if that is any better or not. I will be going over to take a look at it later this week and see what we can find. Thanks again! :)

[Budfred]

WinMX is generally considered to be safe... I don't know if they use P2P Networking though... Here is an article about bad vs. safe options:
