The PC is stuck in first gear.

Windows installer wants to run. If allowed, I cannot run ANYTHING. If canceled, it takes over an hour for the PC to get from glacial to snail.

I run firefox.

Active Scan: Note- I could not "disinfect" unless the item was purchased.

Re: The PC is stuck in first gear.

Albeit there were some spyware / maleware items running on the laptop, I have come to realize that this was not the primary problem plaguing the PC.

It was a combination of running 2 AV programs (unwittingly), and windows installer having been blown up.

Thank you.

Please close this thread as resolved.

Re: The PC is stuck in first gear.

I was just reviewing the logs, when I scrolled down to your new post.

I concur. Glad you figured it out.

The items found by Panda ActiveScan, for the most part, can be addressed using a temp cleaner such as

ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
  • Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
    Under Main choose: Select All
    Click the Empty Selected button.
If you use Firefox browser
  • Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
    Click the Empty Selected button.
    NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
If you use Opera browser
  • Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
    Click the Empty Selected button.
    NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

You may want to reconsider BFG Toolbar, it's rated "X", remove.

http://www.systemlookup.com/lists.ph...Bfgtoolbar.dll

MyWebSearch is also rated as "X", remove:

http://www.systemlookup.com/lists.ph...7-5838F569A31D

SweetIM Toolbar is "O", open to debate.

http://www.systemlookup.com/lists.ph...F-E3BB5A838E2A

If you'd like help removing those, let me know.

Re: The PC is stuck in first gear.

Well, I think I removed all the undesirables.

I sure wouldn't mind a second look by a more knowledgeable person, if you don't mind. I hope attaching the last HJT log doesn't break the desired protocol....Thank you.

Re: The PC is stuck in first gear.

Looks good.

A couple more things to point out:

Recommended uninstall:

Viewpoint Manager<<<this is considered foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval, but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". Read this article: http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546

Additional info: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_137262.htm

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
  • Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 and save it to your desktop.
  • Scroll down to where it says "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 7. The Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications."
  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • Select the Windows platform from the dropdown menu.
  • Read the License Agreement and then check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement". Click on Continue.The page will refresh.
  • Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation and save the file to your desktop.
  • Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  • Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove Programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  • Check (highlight) 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-6u7-windows-i586-p.exe to install the newest version.
  • After the install is complete, go into the Control Panel (using Classic View) and double-click the Java Icon. (looks like a coffee cup)
    • On the General tab, under Temporary Internet Files, click the Settings button.
    • Next, click on the Delete Files button
    • There are two options in the window to clear the cache - Leave BOTH Checked
      • Applications and Applets
        Trace and Log Files
    • Click OK on Delete Temporary Files Window
      Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.
    • Click OK to leave the Temporary Files Window
    • Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.
