Followed instructions prior to posting. Adaware and Spybot removed quite a bit. However, still boot up and shutdown problems, "mmtask" and "ccapp" often hang. System resources go very low. Also, cannot successfully run Norton LiveUpdate (error pop up says to try again or reinstall).

Here's the hijack log. Thanks!

Hello!

Since I first posted, I have stopped trying to fix LiveUpdate problems with Norton Antivirus and have gone the Intelligent Updater route. Also, I've disabled the startup of the HP software (instant support and something else I can't remember what it's called) as I was getting kernel32 errors.

I've followed your directions and have had some trouble with cleanly booting/shutting down consistently. Right now my resource meter shows 25%. I do have the following results. PLEASE NOTE THAT I'VE NOTICED A CHANGE IN MY WIRELESS ROUTER BEHAVIOR. IT SEEMS I HAVE TO RESET IT TO KEEP A CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET. THIS IS NEW TO ME--ANY IDEAS??

Here's the most recent HijackThis log:

Thanks for your help. I can also say AdAware found SahAgent and removed it. Panda Software scan found 27 infected files and disinfected 15. Housecall found none.

I hope we're getting closer!

Thanks for the quick reply!

Repeated the process. This time when I restarted after the scan with the Panda software, I got a Neatgear error (Netgearag has caused an error in <unknown>). I ended up restarted my wireless adapter...

I deleted those files via that utility. On restart, my system never displayed anything other than the wallpaper. A second restart brought everything back.

Hi thatman!

I've noticed the following:
-LiveUpdate (Norton Antivirus) works again!
-AdAware: way back when I first configured this, I set the homepage to http://netmail.verizon.net and the search page to http://www.google.com. I noticed that when I open IE that the homepage is Google...?
-System resources are currently fluctuating in the single digits to the teens.
-The most recent Adaware scan found 2 tracking cookies.
-I read the article about Winpoet. I should be ok--the build number is higher than what was mentioned + I've been running basically fine for a 2-3 years until now.

Good morning!

Right now, my resources are at 22%. I had HijackThis remove what you last said and rebooted.

I'm not sure what's "normal" for system resources, but I don't think it should be that low if I'm not running many apps.

Here's the latest HijackThis:

Thanks!

Sorry for the confusion, but I'm using the Resource Meter in Windows (ME). Right now, it says that 18% of the system resources are free. That sounds like the opposite of what you were saying? I'm thinking if I have x% of free resources, the higher that is, the faster the system runs? Every once in a while I'll get a warning when the resources go below 10%. Maybe the resource meter uses up a lot of resources??? <grin>

Other than that--the machine is definitely running better than before. Thank you for your help!!!!
