BleepingComputer.com: xp slow -

Re-posting without the Combofix log. Sorry for my newbie error.

I'm working on my mother's Presario laptop, which is running XP, but rather slowly. I did a complete scan with AVG and that went alright. I have also removed some unused programs, was well as running Ccleaner. I started the MS defragmentation program and it showed that very little improvement would result so I stopped it. The machine is stable, just kind of slow. I then ran Combofix and saved the log. Can anyone review the log for me and make further suggestions. Thanks.

ComboFix logs are not allowed in this forum...very simple reason, ComboFix is a malware tool and this is not a malware forum.

ComboFix usage, Questions, Help - Look here - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic273628.html

How much RAM installed in this laptop?

How large is C:? How much free space on C:?

Hello,

Now that you have posted a log here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic295287.html you should NOT make further changes to your computer (install/uninstall programs, use special fix tools, delete files, edit the registry, etc) unless advised by a HJT Team member, nor should you ask for help elsewhere. Doing so can result in system changes which may not show in the log you already posted. Further, any modifications you make on your own may cause confusion for the helper assisting you and could complicate the malware removal process which would extend the time it takes to clean your computer.

From this point on the HJT Team should be the only members that you take advice from, until they have verified your log as clean.

Please be patient. It may take a while to get a response because the HJT Team members are EXTREMELY busy working logs posted before yours. They are volunteers who will help you out as soon as possible. Once you have made your post and are waiting, please DO NOT make another reply until it has been responded to by a member of the HJT Team. Generally the staff checks the forum for postings that have 0 replies as this makes it easier for them to identify those who have not been helped. If you post another response there will be 1 reply. A team member, looking for a new log to work may assume another HJT Team member is already assisting you and not open the thread to respond.

Please be patient. It may take several days, up to two weeks perhaps less, to get a response but your log will be reviewed and answered as soon as possible. I advise checking your topic once a day for responses as the e-mail notification system is unreliable.

To avoid confusion, I am closing this topic. Good luck with your log.
