In the past couple of weeks my computer has become very slow. I've run numeros spyware, malware, etc., programs, but nothing has helped. It take minutes rather than seconds to pull up web pages and is really becoming a pain. :tazz:

Here is my Hijack log.

Is the problem you posted here for this machine also (assuming it's resolved)?

Having Panda and AVG together is just spelling trouble. So decide which one you want to keep and uninstall the other one.

Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following if they still exist and hit 'Fix Checked' after you check the last one:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RealTray] C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\RealPlay.exe SYSTEMBOOTHIDEPLAYER
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Works Update Detection] C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Works Shared\WkUFind.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AdaptecDirectCD] "C:\Program Files\Roxio\Easy CD Creator 5\DirectCD\DirectCD.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [mmtask] "C:\Program Files\MUSICMATCH\MUSICMATCH Jukebox\mmtask.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\bin\jusched.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Lexmark X5100 Series] "C:\Program Files\Lexmark X5100 Series\lxbabmgr.exe"

Your log is clean.

To help prevent future spyware installations/infections, please read the Anti-Spyware Tutorial and use the tools provided.

Are there any problems now? If not, you should be set to go.

Thank you for your help.

I ran Hijack and selected the ones that you told me to. I got the following message when I clicked on the fix button.

[Unexpected error occurred! Error #52 (Bad filename or number) in sub GeLongPath(?.exe). Please send report to [email protected], mentioning wht you were doing,and what version of windows you have.]

Is there something else I need to do, or does this have something to do with a spyware problem?

Also, regarding running the Panda antivirus and AVG at the same time, I've tried multiple times to uninstall Panda as it didn't install correctly, but I haven't been able to get it off my computer. I've tried multiple times and haven't been successful. Any ideas on how to get the Panda software off my computer?

Thanks in advance.

Don't worry about that error...

For the Panda problem, can you uninstall it in Safe Mode? If not, go to Start->Run and type in services.msc and hit OK. Look for all the Panda services listed there and double click on each of them separately. STOP their service and under startup, choose Disabled. Do this for each Panda service found. Do a ctrl+alt+del and go to the Processes tab to make sure no other Panda processes are running. After that's done, try uninstalling it now.

Any problem?

Still can't get it to uninstall. There is one thing that I can't stop. "Panda Process Protection Service" "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Panda Software\PavShld\pavprsrv.exe"

I can disable it, but it won't let me stop it. When I try to uninstall it, I get an error message.....

"Cannot delete ADIAGNST.DLL: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."

Not sure what else to do to uninstall it. Any ideas.

Thanks.

Try running this file:

Go to Start->Run and type in notepad and hit OK. Then copy and paste the following into Notepad:

sc stop PavPrSrv
sc delete PavPrSrv
sc stop PSIMSVC
sc delete PSIMSVC
sc stop PREVSRV
sc delete PREVSRV
sc stop PAVSRV
sc delete PAVSRV
sc stop PavProt
sc delete PavProt
sc stop Pavkre
sc delete Pavkre
sc stop PAVFNSVR
sc delete PAVFNSVR
sc stop PAVFIRES
sc delete PAVFIRES
del delete.bat


Save the file as "delete.bat". Make sure to save it with the quotes. Double click on it.

Then try uninstalling Panda again...Make sure you killed all the running processes (ctrl+alt+del - Processes tab).
