Very Slow Computer - Moved to Applications and Security...

[kkay]

My son's computer is running very slowly. I can post a HJT log, if needed.

I tried to do the f-secure online scanner, but kept getting some kind of error.

We have been through this several times and I usually get our problem solved here! Any help would be appreciated.

They will need your HJT log, you might want to post it in the app & security section for a quicker response.

Trying to sort out 2 logs at one time isn't a good idea....

[Budfred]

The log looks clean... You can fix this, but it probably isn't a big deal...

O18 - Filter: text/html - (no CLSID) - (no file)

Run some scans to dig a little deeper...

Download Superantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/?tag=GOOGLE-SUPERANTISPYWARE)

Install the programme and when the first page opens on the bottom left will be a check for updates button click this to update the programme

Then run SuperAntispyware

On the first page select SCAN YOUR COMPUTER
On the next page select COMPLETE SCAN and tick ALL your drives
The next stage will take a while as your entire drive(s), memory and registry are scanned
When it has completed click NEXT
The next screen shows the problems found click OK
On the next screen place a tick against all items and select NEXT

Now to get the log Go to the PREFERENCES button on the right bottom
Select the STATISTICS/LOG tab
Highlight the scan just completed and click VIEW LOG
This will open a notepad text file copy and paste this to your next reply...

And try this too:

* Download Dr.Web CureIt to the desktop:
ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe

Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan
This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.
Once the short scan has finished, mark the drives that you want to scan.
Select all drives. A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.
Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
When the scan has finished, look if you can click next icon next to the files found: http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/images/check.gif
If so, click it and then click the next icon right below and select Move incurable as you'll see in next image:
http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/images/move.gif
This will move it to the %userprofile%\DoctorWeb\quarantaine-folder if it can't be cured. (this in case if we need samples)
After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list
Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
Close Dr.Web Cureit.
Reboot your computer!! Because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web you saved previously in your next reply.
