BleepingComputer.com: Sooo Slow

Hi, Thanks so much for your help. I ran all the programs (adaware, spybot, bitdefender, housecall, stinger, windows update...and I do use zone alarm. Normally i have zonealarm, microsoft antispyware, spyware doctor, and AVG. I also frequently update and run spybot and adaware.
The logs have been showing up clean EXCEPT Bitdefender found some problems it couldn't clean, and then Housecall (after bitdefender) seemed to find and clean quite a bit.

At this point I need to see if there's still something infecting the computer, or if there's another reason for it being slow.

I will donate to your site and to others involved.

Thanks. M. Lowry

Hello mlowry816,

Welcome to Bleeping Computer

There is no malware in your log. You do have a lot of things running in the background that are not necessary and can be started manually. If you would like, I'll put together a list of these things for you, and you can decide whether you want them to run automatically or not.

Thanks,
tea

Wonderful news!

Thanks Tea! I was hoping I had gotten rid of the malware...and I would love a list of the programs to take out of my startup files so I can get this computer running quicker.

I did make a Paypal donation for your help, thanks so much.

Hello,

Here is the promised list :

All of the following can be fixed with HijackThis. This does not remove them, just stops them from running at startup or in the background. You can start them manually, if you even use them at all! They are all in the "N" category, which means - Not required - typically infrequently used tasks that can be started manually if necessary. It is your choice here to choose some or all. If you don't like a choice you've made, simply restore them from your HijackThis backups.
