My memory is being eaten up constantly. It got so low that System Restore shut off and I was getting messages constantly warning me to delete something. I deleted everything I could. I've run every spyware program I can find. I've also run HijackThis and will post my log here. Today what I'm noticing is that when I get the message to clear some space, my temporary internet files are 10,000 plus (that's happened at least 10 times today).

Put a check in the box next to the following entries and click "fix checked"

To free up more memory and use less resources check boxes next to these entries at the same time as fixing the above entries. These programs are starting at startup and you don't need them too, you can still use them, but you just have to manually start them. I suggest going into the options of these programs and turning off the option to run on startup, uses lots less mem.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [iTunesHelper] E:\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [P2P Networking] C:\WINDOWS\System32\P2P Networking\P2P Networking.exe /AUTOSTART
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [msnmsgr] "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /background

Reboot in safe mode by pressing F8 during startup delete the following files marked in bold.

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\blank.htm
C:\Program Files\Web_Rebates\WebRebates0.exe
C:\Program Files\Web_Rebates\Sy1150\Tp1150\scri1150a.htm

Actually get rid of the whole webrabates folder.


reboot regularly and run HJT again and post log back here and let us know how things are doing.
