Hi, I've had this problem for a while, but only now have decided to follow the steps in order to do something against it. It seems that my computer needs to "tune in" or "warm up". Here's an example: when I boot the computer, it takes up to a minute to completely load the desktop (until it stops showing the mouse with the hourglass). I click the start menu, it apparently does nothing for several seconds, then slowly opens. Here's a good one: it takes up to 15 seconds to open MS Word. Also it seems to have trouble when I right-click a file- takes many seconds for the menu to appear. Thank goodness I haven't noticed any files missing. My computer is pretty good considering it's almost 5 years old (good hardware, performance horribly). This problem seems to have come on gradually, but I'm not sure. 2.4 GHz cpu, only 256mB of RAM though. Same graphix card as when I bought it (GeForce 4), so it shouldn't be a gfx problem. Here are the steps I've taken from the "Read this before..." thread:
  • Ad-Aware quarantined 200-odd objects.
  • CWShredder found only 1 CW, and removed it.
  • Spybot S&D also found a bunch of problems, all quarantined/deleted.
  • Ewido installed and ran it, despite that I already have Norton Antivirus. I removed Ewido after scanning/deleting problems. On another note: I hear that Norton Antiv. slows down your machine immensley- although I doubt this is the problem since I've had it for as long as I remember.
  • SP2 installed a while ago, but at that time I WAS having the problems that I described above.
    Also, a lot of times when I'm shutting down windows, I get the window "Please wait shutting down ... ccApp", "end now" button.
To save you one line of reading: I see on this list, I have Spyware Assassin, which I checked to be a suspected "rogue" software. I definately want this gone hehe.

I realise you are not superhuman :whistling: , and patiently and greatly appreciate all help!
Additional note: if you find something called MOZVAG up there, it's not a threat.
The reason I suspect malware/adware is because before I used to have a [bleep] of a lot of popup ads, but my dad installed 1 or 2 pop-up blockers, and now I get NO ad-related pop-ups! However, when I run Norton Anti-virus scan, it always finds (the same) a several dozen files that it says are possible adware threats. BUT, when I click delete, it says delete failed on all of them.
Just one more thing: Alcohol was recently installed, plus it's not malware.
  • Yahoo! toolbar- I want it to stay!
  • Google toolbar- I want it to go! (although I can probably do this later, @ add/remove programs)
I see many views :blink:, but no replies yet :\

  • It will say "Java Plug-in" under the icon.
    Please find the update button or tab in the Java Control Panel. Update your Java then reboot.
  • If you are unable to update you can manually update by going here:
  • After the reboot, go back into the Control Panel and double-click the Java Icon.
  • Under Temporary Internet Files, click the Delete Files button.
  • There are three options in the window to clear the cache - Leave ALL 3 CheckedDownloaded Applets
    Downloaded Applications
    Other Files
  • Click OK on Delete Temporary Files Window
    Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.
  • Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.
Reboot once more. Let me know how the computer is behaving and post a fresh HijackThis log.
If you did not use Spyware Assassin to remove anything you can uninstall it from Add/Remove Software.

Hey, I followed all your instructions. It's doing a bit better, but I think I need to explain some things. Several days ago, I installed Silent Hunter 3 (game), but my system doesn't meet the minimum RAM requirements (256MB, 512MB is minimum). So to get it to run, I did a lot of (stupid) things, like end all the processes (tasks) that wouldn't make windows shutdown. A day after, I *discovered* virtual memory, and how to change it. The default setting was between 450-768 MB. When I set it to go from 1024-2048MB, my game was sometimes glitchy (laggy) as [bleep], but it didn't crash to Windows at least! Also, I noticed Windows in general was running smoother (but still not nearly as well as it should). After I followed your steps, I put the virtual memory back to 450-768MB, and I saw that my computer was running the same speed as it was a few days ago with the 1-2GB of virtual RAM. I guess this is proof that your help wasn't in vein. However, it still takes up to 15 seconds just to open MS Word. One more problem: (probably from screwing around with the processes a few days ago,) when I start up Windows, I get a message from the "Notification Area" of the taskbar (right corner) saying

Your computer might be at risk. Norton Internet Security is disabled.

Can you help me fix this?

Do you think I should run Norton Antivirus scan and tell you if there are any files that show up (see top of first post)?
Thanks for your help.
I defragmented my hard disk a few days ago.

I think you should be able to cure the Norton message in the Control Panel for the Software.
You will probably find you stoppped a service that is necessary for the firewall.

You do realize that using Virtual memory is slower then it would be with actual RAM.
I make it a habit to try and keep Virtual memory at 0, but even with a Gig of RAM that is not always possible.

Is your computer unable to use more RAM or is there another problem?

Also using other security software then Norton will often help in cutting back the use of resources, but I'm not sure what your options are.

Your log looks clean enough, but if you want to run another scan, let me know if and what it turns up.

Regards,

I do know that the hard disc is slower than RAM (obviously, since I think RAM is the fastest external memory), but the way it was set, the game would crash to windows (probably because no more RAM+VM was available). This way it's slow, but it works (it's playable). (sigh) I guess I'll run Norton and see if it detects anything, and let you know (I can tell you right now that for 90-100% of the files, it will say 'delete failed'). I've been considering re-formatting for years (yes that's how long this has been bugging me), but my dad needs this comp for the following months for his job, and our laptop is broken beyond repair. Actually after he's finished with the computer, we'll probably send it to our (neighborhood) repair shop for reformatting/upgrading RAM etc... but I just wanted to see if it wasn't neccesary

I also noticed something creepy the last few weeks... when I click on the norton system doctor icon (traffic light) in the notification area, the window shows up... but there's no name bar (the top bar on EVERY window that isn't a dialog window, it includes the minimize/restore/exit buttons). I don't suppose you have ANY idea what's going on?? (this was present before your help, but i thought it would go away!). I have to minimize it by right-click on the toolbar>minimize!! ahh!!

I'm not sure what you mean, but that and what you wrote before sounds like an explorer problem.
If you have an option to post a screenshot of that problem it would be appreciated.

Download WinPFind.zip and unzip the contents to the C:\ folder.

Start in Safe Mode Using the F8 method:
  • Restart the computer.
  • As soon as the BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until the boot menu appears.
  • Use the arrow keys to select the Safe Mode menu item.
  • Press the Enter key.
Locate the c:\winpfind\winpfind.exe file and double-click it to run it. Now click the Start Scan button to begin the scan.

When the scan is complete reboot normally and post the WinPFind.txt file (located in the WinPFind folder)

The total filespace required to upload all the attached files is greater than your per post or global limit. Please reduce the number of attachments or the size of the attachments.

the file size is 0.5 megabytes. my norton antivirus scan could be screwing with it

Hmmm. Did you try and upload a .bmp file?

Better use Paint (or an alternative program like it) and save it as a .jpg
That makes them a lot smaller.

No problem if you can't get it done. Just skip to the WinPFind log.

FINALLY. wow that was frustrating.
desktop.jpg
something missing?? lol
Also I recently uninstalled adobe photoshop, macromedia dreamweaver, macromedia fireworks, macromedia flash (the program). so when I ran windoctor, of course norton found many hundreds of invalid shortcuts/registrykeys/activex somethings, most were fixed, but about 100 are left... we'll deal with that later ok?

now i'll proceed to WinPFind.zip and getting you the log. thanks for your patience it's much better than mine

wow. good luck :whistling:
[code=auto:0]WARNING: not all files found by this scanner are bad. Consult with a knowledgable person before proceeding.

If you see a message in the titlebar saying "Not responding..." you can ignore it. Windows somethimes displays this message due to the high volume of disk I/O. As long as the hard disk light is flashing, the program is still working properly.

Some very suspicious files.

Please download the Killbox by Option^Explicit.

Note: In the event you already have Killbox, this is a new version that I need you to download.
  • Save it to your desktop.
  • Please double-click Killbox.exe to run it.
  • Select:
    • Delete on Reboot
    • then Click on the All Files button.
  • Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

    C:\WINDOWS\Dvqdyuemjd.pcv
    C:\WINDOWS\Ifqhlggtbc.whl
    C:\WINDOWS\Jigbawhuequ.swr
    C:\WINDOWS\Mfxelomk.uch
    C:\WINDOWS\Mfxelomk.uch
    C:\WINDOWS\Ninvjka.lhb
    C:\WINDOWS\Uleobmasc.fhn
    C:\WINDOWS\Wtgvnlbexk.rks
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d18.dll

  • Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
  • Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click OK at any PendingFileRenameOperations prompt (and please let me know if you receive this message!).
If your computer does not restart automatically, please restart it manually.

If you receive a message such as: "Component 'MsComCtl.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid." when trying to run Killbox, click here to download and run missingfilesetup.exe. Then try Killbox again.

I'll post back in a few with a follow-up, but you can start with the above without waiting for it.

Download and unzip:
http://www.diamondcs...onsoletools.zip

Save all the files in the zip to this path:
C:\console

This isn't absolutely necessary, but will make it a lot easier for me since I have them there as well.

Now open exactly one explorer window
Do not open any instances of IE or you might get the wrong results.
Click Start > Run > cmd > OK

The command prompt will open.
Type these commands behind the prompts, each line followed by using ENTER

cd\
cd console
procs -l

This will result in a list of processes each followed by a number between brackets (the PID)
Find the PID for (the first instance of) explorer.exe
That should look something like this C:\Windows\explorer.exe [1512]
Since your number will probably not be 1512 you will have to replace it by your own in the command below.

Then use this command

procs -m:1512


This will result in a list of all the modules in use by explorer.exe

Copy and paste that list into your next post.
I think the cause for the unusual behavior will be in there.
