I have formated my PC for first time since i have it, wich is like a year now.
Every days, it gets worst. I tried PCBugDoctor, i tried spy sweeper trial, wich wont remove anything because its the trial, and some other anti-virus and anti-spywares, its still slow... please someone help me! This PC is a pentium 4 with 2.80Ghz and 512MB of ram, it cant be that slow.... I could play WoW and now i cant anymore, its too slow.

Please download the trial version of ewido anti-malware here:

Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files.

Run Ewido:
  • Click on scanner
  • Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
  • While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files, click OK
  • When it asks if you want to clean the first file, put a check in the lower left corner of the box that says "Perform action on all infections" then choose clean and click OK.
  • Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
  • Click Save report.
  • Save the report .txt file to your desktop.
Close ewido anti-malware.

Please download Rootkit Revealer (link is at the very bottom of the page)
  • Unzip it to your desktop.
  • Open the rootkitrevealer folder and double-click rootkitrevealer.exe
  • Click the Scan button (bottom right)
  • It may take a while to scan (don't do anything while it's running)
  • When it's done, go up to File > Save. Choose to save it to your desktop.
  • Open rootkitrevealer.txt on your desktop and copy the entire contents and paste them here

Hmm. :tazz:

Can you check if this folder exists on your computer:
C:\Program Files\ExploreAnywhere

Let me know.

You can delete this folder by the way:
C:\Program Files\NoAdware4

How exactly did you come to the conclusion that KeyLogger Pro and NETOBserve are installed?

NoAdware will report anything if it convinces some-one to buy their cr@ppy program.

:tazz: did I think that out loud ?

The RKR log would have surely revealed any keyloggers and the default folder for those programs isn't there, so I am assuming that isn't present.

How is the computer behaving now?

That is very hard for me to tell from here.
I don't know how much work that would be for you with making bakups and re-installing everything.

It could be either hardware or a completely messed up registry.
A format will cure the last, but it will not help if there is a hardware problem.

Well, i formated my computer last month because it was getting slow like it is now...but its worst than before i formated it. I looked up for cracks, so that might be my problem here...anyways i guess ill format, if it gets slow again ill have someone to check hardware.

Thanks for trying.
