My computer was initially quite speedy (for about 2 years), but has been operating very slowly for some time now (about 1 year). However, the problems increased substantially about 2 weeks ago.
It has been used principally by my 14-year old for the last 6 months. So, perhaps he has invited some particularly insideous spyware recently. Lots of pop-ups, and some times using IE6 is non functional. I am posting this from my other machine.
I have run Ad-aware, Spy-Bot, CWShredder periodically on the 8100 for more than a year. Ad-aware runs notably slower than on my newer machine. Yesterday, I discovered that there were about 650 *.tmp or *.dmp files. I have deleted these files, then re-ran the three programs above. It was faster for about one or two visits to the web. Now, it's mostly useless for using IE6.
I just found your web site and ran HijackThis on the 8100. Can you help me identify which of the items noted by HijackThis are problematic? the HT log is below:
