I posted my HJT log at another help forum a couple days ago, but have had no response. If you can help me here I'll promptly have that other place close its thread - and vice-versa.
There are three items I do not recognize in the following log, namely:
O4 - Global Startup: $McRebootA5E6DEAA56$.lnk = ?
O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\WINDOWS\system32\guard32.dll
O23 - Service: McAfee Application Installer Cleanup (0072701233415804) (0072701233415804mcinstcleanup) - Unknown owner - C:\DOCUME~1\DEEAND~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\007270~1.EXE (file missing)
I've tried googling them without much luck. 04 and 023 may just have to do with McAfee SiteAdvisor, which I uninstalled a month or so ago (I may not have rebooted since then). The 020 I don't know about - guard32 may be a Comodo Firewall file, or a remnant of Windows Defender or Microsoft Antispyware? No idea.
Recently the computer's main account has been receiving a fair amount of spam. Also, the Windows Installer starts up when I install new programs (such as ERUNT) or even when visiting pages (such as ESET Online scan) which install programs, gets a 1706 error, and says to insert the Dell Backup disk. I just cancel it out and things install after that with no problem. That's been going on for at least a couple months. Other than that, the computer seems to run well (it's slow, but I attribute that to its age, 256 mb RAM, etc).
I have run a number of online virus scans, including ESET, Panda, Kaspersky, and F-Secure, as well as the Avira Anti-Vir which is installed on the computer. I have also run MBAM and SuperAntispyware - none of these have revealed any infection. F-secure did indicate it couldn't scan the following files:
Files not scanned:
* C:\PAGEFILE.SYS
* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\DEFAULT
* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SAM
* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SECURITY
* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE
* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
So I'm basically looking for peace of mind regarding those three items I've shown above. Hopefully it's no big deal.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give. I know I'm behind on Windows and Java updates, but would like to make sure the computer is infection-free before doing anything requiring a reboot, if that's possible. Thanks.
