Possible malware issue - slow machine

Hi guys and girls

I am not really sure if i have a malware problem, or IE7 is buggy, as over the last month or so i have been suffering with a less than responsive machine. Thank you for spending the time looking at my log.

Hey bigfella

Log is clean, but your Java needs updating.

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update.

Updating Java:
  • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 9.
  • Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement".
  • The page will refresh.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation with or without Multi-language and save to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
  • Then from your desktop double-click on jre-1_5_0_09-windowsi586-p.exe to install the newest version.


Let's do an online scan, just to check.

Perform an online scan with Internet Explorer with Panda ActiveScan
  1. Click on located at the bottom of the page.
  2. A "pop up" window will appear. * Please ensure that your pop up blocker doesn't block it *
  3. Enter your e-mail address, country, and state & click "Free Online Scan" *The download of the 8 MB Panda's ActiveX control will take place*
Begin the scan by selecting
  • If it finds any malware, it will offer you a report.
  • Please ignore any entry it finds and the offer to buy the program to remove the entry, as we will address this later.
  • Click on then click
* You needn't remain online while it's doing the scan but you have to re-connect after it has finished to see the report.
* Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan



Post back with the Panda log and a fresh HijackThis log.

Hi BF

Just cookies - remember to clear them out on a regular basis, or specify which sites should be allowed to set cookies. The Java update was important as the older versions have been used for attacks.

As for IE7, I still see folks with problems, so I reckon there still some bugs to be fixed in the programme.

Remember to defrag and clear your temp files on a regular basis. You might want to disable some start up services - things like iTunes and QuickTime don't need to run at start up - I use these sites for services guides
