I ended up reformatting that PC, but here's a different one. The problem is the memory - there are a lot of files on this PC(converted piles of vinyl to mp3, stored on PC), and running Windoze Explorer is very slow. Also, defragmenting takes almost a whole week!

Hopefully the HijackThis log exposes a culprit to our problem.

Not much here. Not enough to cause your problems

Please re-open HiJackThis and scan. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\QUICKENW\inet\common\blank.htm
O16 - DPF: {41F17733-B041-4099-A042-B518BB6A408C} - http://a1540.g.akama...meInstaller.exe


Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked

If you can run this scan it would help

Please run this online virus scan:
Panda Active Scan You need to use Internet Explorer for this scan.

• Once you get to the Panda site, scroll down a bit and click on Scan your PC
• A new window will appear; click on Check Now!
• A new window will appear; fill in the boxes (Country, State, email addy)
• Click on Scan Now! >
  If you have never used ActiveScan before, you will be prompted to install an ActiveX control (asinst.cab) : click on Install. Panda will install the component, and then install the latest signature files.
• From "Select a device to scan...", choose "My Computer"
• Allow the scan to run. It'll take a while.
• When complete, click on "See Report", and then on "Save report"; save it to a convenient location.
• I will need you to post that report in your next reply; simply open the text file, then copy/paste the content here. Also post a new Hijack log

Thanks

1. Click Start > Control Panel.

2. Double-click the Java icon (coffee cup) in the control panel. It will say "Java Plug-in" under the icon - please find the update button or tab in that Java control panel. Update your Java, and reboot.

After reboot, go back into the Control Panel and double-click the Java icon.

3. Under Temporary Internet Files, click the Delete Files button.

There are three options on this window to clear the cache - leave ALL 3 checked.
1. Downloaded Applets
2. Downloaded Applications
3. Other Files

4. Click OK on Delete Temporary Files window.
Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.

5. Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.

Download and install CleanUp! Here

*NOTE* Cleanup deletes EVERYTHING out of temp/temporary folders and does not make backups.


Please run cleanup

Now tell me if this has helped.

[Seven!]

I regularly run CCleaner(Crap Cleaner). I downloaded and installed CleanUp!, and they have pretty much the same function.

If you wanted to evaluate CCleaner (it's freeware), here's the link: http://ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp

I turned off indexing (given that I have a large amount of files), and the computer increased dramatically in performance. Thanks for your help.

[loophole]

Yes that would help performance. As for CCcleaner Ive never used it , but most people say its a little too powerful for the average user so we dont recommend it much but I guess it all depends on the user with any program But since you gave me the link........Im gonna check it out. Good luck in Geek u, You seem like you know your way around a computer
