As I thought one of the combofix files was corrupted

The TDSS found by AVP was the one removed by TDSSKiller

What problems do you have now ?

[frostyr1]

I think I'm good with that, the only other thing that has been going on for quite a while, is the system takes about 15 minutes to completely get going when it is turned on, and about ten minutes after it is started, it freezes for a couple minutes until things get caught up or something. I can be using it, and it will just run, but there is no cursor or anything available to use for a couple minutes.
Also, how do I pay for the help. You have been terrific.
Thanks,
Al

[Essexboy]

The slow startup may be due to the number of programmes running at start, we will look at that once I have removed my tools. You are also low on memory - again I will visit that at the end

446.00 Mb Total Physical Memory | 98.00 Mb Available Physical Memory | 22.00% Memory free

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Run OTL

• Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
  
  

  :Commands
  [resethosts]
  [purity]
  [emptytemp]
  [EMPTYFLASH]
  [CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS] 
  [Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bolded text into the Run box and click OK:

ComboFix /Uninstall

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. MBAM can be uninstalled via control panel add/remove along with ERUNT. But they may be useful tools to keep

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

• Click Start.
• Open My Computer.
• Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
• Select the View Tab.
• Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
• Click Yes to confirm.
• Click OK.

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application. Beware it is NOT supported for use in 9x or ME and probably will not install in those systems

Upgrading Java:

• Download the latest version of Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)JRE 6 Update 20.
• Click the "Download" button to the right.
• Select your Platform and check the box that says: "I agree to the Java SE Runtime Environment 6 License Agreement.".
• Click on Continue.
• Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation (jre-6u20-windows-i586-p.exe) and save it to your desktop. Do NOT use the Sun Download Manager..
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
• Go to Start > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
• Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java version.
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
• Then from your desktop double-click on the download to install the newest version.(Vista users, right click on the jre-6u20-windows-i586-p.exe and select "Run as an Administrator.")

SPRING CLEAN

Download and run Puran Disc Defragmenter

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

• SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
  Malwarebytes. Run weekly to keep your system clean

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

To keep your operating system up to date visit

• Microsoft Windows Update

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?
Keep safe


SPEED UP

To try and ease the startup try this

Download Startup Control Panel here
Instal and you will find a startup icon in the control panel - run this

• In the HKLM tab, you may disable (be careful --> "disable") all the entries except your security software
• In the HKCU tab, you may disable all entries.
• In the StartUp tab, you may disable all entries.

Note : if you notice that some programs no longer run, you can enable them again by running Startup Control Panel, selecting the entry and choosing Run Now.
If you are in doubt with something, don't hesitate to ask

MEMORY

Go to Crucial and run the system scanner. This will tell you how much extra RAM your system can take, what type and the cost (but once you have the type you may find it cheaper elsewhere )

If you wish to make a donation there is a paypal button in my signature, but it is totally up to you and not a requirement
