I am a newbee at this, but have tried to follow the correct steps. My computer is running slow so I have been following bleepingcomputers advice. I just finished the step of running autoruns. I have searched every entry in the database and taken note of the "harmful" ones. Before taking the next step I wanted to make sure I have correctly identified the entry with the ones on your database. Also, when searching for an entry on the database there seems to be several entries listing a differenet status. Which one do I trust? Here is the list of entries I have found with the information given to me by autoruns.

Thanks

Name: Quick Time Task
Filename: qttask.exe
Location: c:\program files\quicktime\qttask.exe

Name: SunJavaUpdate
Filename: jusched.exe
Location: c:\program files\java\jre1.5.0_11\bin\jusched.exe

Name: MSMSGS, Windows Messenger
Filename: msmsgs.exe
Location: c:\program files\messenger\msmsgs.exe

The filename and location are the same for this entry , but it appears in several differnet names
Name: text/webviewhtml, CDBurn, PostBootReminder, shell32.dll, Taskbar and Start Menu, {0D2E74C4-3C34-11d2-A27E-00C04FC30871}, {24F14F01-7B1C-11d1-838f-0000F80461CF}, {24F14F02-7B1C-11d1-838f-0000F80461CF}, {66742402-F9B9-11D1-A202-0000F81FEDEE}
Filename: shell32.dll
Location: c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll

The filename and location are the same for this entry , but it appears in several differnet names
Name: Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard 1.52, NewMeeting 3.01, Windows Messenger 4.7
Filename: advpack.dll
Location: c:\windows\system32\advpack.dll

The filename and location are the same for this entry , but it appears in several differnet names
Name: Themes Setup, Windows Desk Update
Filename: regsvr32.exe
Location: c:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe

Name: Sendmail service
Filename: sendmail.dll
Location: c:\windows\system32\sendmail.dll

Name: Kernel32
Filename: kernel32.dll
Location: c:\windows\system32\kernel32.dll

Name: wininet
Filename: wininet.dll
Location: c:\windows\system32\wininet.dll

Name: logonui.exe
Filename: logonui.exe
Location: c:\windows\system32\logonui.exe


I have also found several entries that may match one on your database, i usually see a few maybe several that match, however one entry will note " This infection should not be confused with the legitimate file found at C:\Windows\System32\userinit.exe." If it seems to be the legitimate file do I ignore it? Here are a few listed this way.

Name: C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe
Filename: userinit.exe
Location: c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe

Name: Explorer.exe
Filename: explorer.exe
Location: c:\windows\explorer.exe

Name: ctfmon.exe
Filename: ctfmon.exe
Location: c:\windows\system32\ctfmon.exe

Name: Eventlog
Filename: services.exe
Location: c:\windows\system32\services.exe

If I do need to handel these would the nest step be disableing and deleting them in safe mode?
Thanks

These are all legit. You not only need to compare the names and filenames, but where the file is located.
