Help My PC is running slow

HI ,

This might be an issue for McAfee, because its my belief their Spamkiller service is running amok (98% cpu usage constantly) via MSKSrvr.exe file,
however it would be nice if you all had a quik peek to double check my drive.

here is the HJT log

pc pitstop results

Susan,

I ran PC pitstop with the McAfee MSKSrvr.exe application disabled.
This was the app ususing 98% of the CPU, it was so sluggish with this
spamkiller goin on that it took forever to open my homepage and some
windows apps wouldnt respond at all.

Let me know if you want me to try running pcpitstop with this pgm enabled

Your PCPitstop results were very good. Go ahead and defragment your drive and adjust the browser cache if you have not done so.

We know that enabling your McAfee MSKSrvr.exe is not going to help. Have you emailed McAfee tech support by any chance to ask about the spamkiller hogging the CPU? I would be curious as to what response you would receive. Or I believe there may be an online chat option with McAfee. Sometimes online chat is a pain--slower than talking via the phone but it is free and you do not have to wait for email response which may be a few days. You can hope maybe they have a fix.

You are not alone from what I can find.

Just follow the manual adjustments.

The only other thing I can suggest is running an online scan to check for malware just to double-check things.

Now run this online scan using Internet Explorer:
Kaspersky Online Scanner from http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Next Click on Launch Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
  • Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
  • Now click on Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
  • Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
  • Standard
  • Scan Options:
  • Scan Archives
  • Scan Mail Bases
  • Click OK
  • Now under select a target to scan:
  • Select My Computer
  • This will program will start and scan your system.
  • The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
  • Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
  • Now click on the Save as Text button:
  • Save the file to your desktop.
Copy and paste that information from Kapersky in your next post.

manual adjustments?

susan,
sorry i have been away on the road.

will run the suggested (kaparskey?)

please tell me how to manually adjust the cache size.

i nmay have stumbled across it yrs ago but i dont remember.

BTW Mcafee was totally useless, they wanted to know why the subs was canceled. i was tried 5 times to get a answer out of them. no one
really had a reason or fix as to why their spamkiller was doing the Godzilla
on my desktop.

No problem! Hope you have a chance to relax some after being on the road.

http://www.tweakxp.com/article37101.aspx
This also shows how to adjust your cache. Maybe you already have it adjusted.

Sorry about the McAfee frustrations.

I will watch for your Kapersky log.

Kapersky

susan,

not sure whats going on with the website (kapersky)
it asks me to install active x controls which i do then up comes this message after the install is performed ( can see the movmt in the tray)

Welcome to the Kaspersky Online Scanner! Use it to scan your PC for viruses and other malware for free
Warning: if you have installed Kaspersky Online Scanner BETA, please manually uninstall it using "Add/Remove Programs" before installing this version! Otherwise this version will not function correctly.

Benefits:


Kaspersky Anti-Virus exceptional detection rates and thorough scanning
Hourly AV database updates available each time the Online Scanner is launched
Heuristic analysis to detect unknown viruses
Simple installation (just click on a link)

Requirements and limitations:


When using this service for the first time, you have to run with Administrator privileges in order to install the product. Also, you will need to download and install files about 400 KB in size (about 1 minute on a 57.6 kbps connection) followed by 7 MB of virus definitions.
However, if you use the Online Scanner again, you will only need to download the files that have been updated


the is no start button to go to the next step. i am tottaly at a loss

Hi atcgman,

I believe your slowness problem is due to the Mcafee spamkiller. I suggested scan just as another check. I would not be too concerned about Kapersky not running. Let's just try another scan.

This scan works with Internet Explorer.

STEP 1.
======
Panda Active Scan
Please go to Panda ActiveScan.
Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
A new window will open...click the Check Now button
  • Enter your Country
  • Enter your State/Province
  • Enter your e-mail address and click send
  • Select either Home User or Company
  • Click the big Scan Now button
  • If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
  • It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
  • When download is complete, click on Local Disks to start the scan
  • When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location.
Post the contents of the Panda scan report, along with a new HijackThis Log, by using Add Reply.

Hi atcgman

These are minor things. I was concerned when you wanted to post(reply) with the Panda log. But let's get started cleaning the items up.

STEP 1.
======
Deletion of cookies
To delete a cookie
  • In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
  • On the General tab, click Settings, and then click View files.
  • Select the cookie you want to delete, and then, on the File menu, click Delete
Hint: If you click the menu heading, the item will be sorted by that item, so if you click "Type" and scroll down, the cookies will be sorted together.
Notes
  • Some Web sites store your member name and password or other personally identifiable information about you in a cookie; therefore, if you delete a cookie, you may need to re-enter this information the next time you visit the site.
  • To delete all of the cookies on your computer, click Delete Cookies on the General tab.

STEP 2.
======
Deletion of unPPC.exe

Please set your system to show all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.

Reboot into Safe Mode: please see here if you are not sure how to do this.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them:
c:\windows\system32\ unPPC.exe
Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.

STEP 3.
======
Regscan

Please download RegScan.
Within RegScan.zip you will find the file regscan.vbs
You may have to allow this script to run or disable anti-spyware again in order for it to run.
A window will open titled RegFinder.vbs and you will see place to input search terms.
Please enter the search terms:
oemji
After the search has completed a window titled Results.txt will open.
Please copy the results and post(reply) back.

Please reply with the results from the regscan and a new hijackthis log.
