Computer drastically slows down at random times
I opened an attachment from an email sent by my mother and almost immediately noticed a sharp decline in computer speed. I called my mother over the phone and she said she never sent an email to me the specified date. Now, every time I leave my computer on for too long, I notice a dramatic difference in speed. It just slows down to a grinding halt and I have to restart the machine in order to get it back to normal speed. Did my mom sabotage my machine?

Re: Computer drastically slows down at random times
Hey, I'm having trouble disabling my anti-virus programs. I thought I already disabled all of them but combofix still says that I have an anti-virus program running. Could you help me please?

Re: Computer drastically slows down at random times
Hi there
Close any open browsers. Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it: Code:
FCopy::
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\proquota.exe|c:\windows\system32\proquota.exe
File::
c:\windows\system32\drivers\bxwqbbximcet.sys
c:\windows\system32\gopafusa.dll
c:\windows\system32\pibovijo.dll
c:\windows\system32\tuyigope.dll
Driver::
bjsmjwxcgwqdhf
RegLock::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\CLSID\{19114156-8E9A-4D4E-9EE9-17A0E48D3BBB}]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\Interface\{1D4C8A81-B7AC-460A-8C23-98713C41D6B3}]
![]() Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.

Re: Computer drastically slows down at random times
Kaspersky got an error message while it was running. This is what it said:
Update has failed. Program has failed to start. Close the Kaspersky Online Scanner 7.0 window and open it again to install the program. You must be online to update the Kaspersky Online Scanner 7 database. With the latest database updates, you can find new viruses and other threats. Please go online to use Kaspersky Online Scanner 7.

Re: Computer drastically slows down at random times
Hi there
I want you to create and run a batch file for me... Open NOTEPAD.exe and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it: Quote:
It should look like this: Double click on search.bat & allow it to run Post back with the log it provides ---------------------------------------------------------------- Lets try a different scanner, this time with ESET
Go here to run an online scannner from ESET.
Post back with the results of ESET and the batch file in your next reply

Re: Computer drastically slows down at random times
Hi there
Great work, almost there, how are things running now? Close any open browsers. Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it: Code:
SkipFix:: FCopy:: C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\proquota.exe|c:\windows\system32\proquota.exe ![]() Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

Re: Computer drastically slows down at random times
Hi there
All is looking good malware wise, just a couple of items to update... Your Adobe Acrobat Reader is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. There is a newer version of Adobe Acrobat Reader available.
When the installation is complete go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all previous versions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- You have out of date java versions installed. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update. Go to control panel, select add/remove programs, choose to uninstall the following items J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6 --------------------------------------------------------------------- I see you have Viewpoint installed. Please read this article: http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546 Unless you are using AOL as an ISP I would recommend removing it. You can download the Viewpoint killer from the link below and follow the prompts. http://www.prprogramsstudios.us.tc// --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that you appear to be free from malware lets help you stay that way! IMPORTANT The following will uninstall combofix and implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points: Windows XP Users: Click Start > Select Run and copy/paste the following bolded text below into the Run box and click OK: Windows Vista Users: Press the Windows key and r to bring up the run dialogue, copy and paste the text below into the run box and click OK: ComboFix /u Update windows on a regular basis - If you do not have automatic updates enabled then visit Microsoft's Update Page and update your computer from there. Update your virus checker on a regular basis - It is no use having a virus checker with out of date definitions. Keep an eye on your firewall. check what it wants to allow, do not simply allow everything, If there is any processes that you are unsure of then dont be afraid to ask for advice. For more information on firewalls read this article here Safer Browsing Use software such as Web of Trust to help you stay away from unsuspecting sites that have malicious purposes. Use Spywareblaster to help prevent the installation of unwanted BHO's (Browser Helper Objects) Use an alternative browser Other browsers tend to be more secure than IE as they do not make use of active x objects, active x objects can be used by spyware as an infection point on your computer. Safer non active x browsers include Opera browser and, more recently, Firefox browser. NB: Please note that although your browser may be more secure without active x it will not throw a ring of steel around your computer. If you purposly visit sites that are dubious in nature then infection will prevail. Computer Maintenance Malware can breed in temporary locations. Use a program such as ccleaner slim to clear out temporary files your computer on a regular basis. Scan your computer regularly for malware Scan on a regular basis to keep your computer clean, free software such as Spybot's Search & Destroy can help you stay clear. Other alternative software that runs under licience and monitors your computer continuously in the background for malware is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) and SUPERAntiSpyware- Please note that these products can also be run as free without a licience as a scan on demand scanner. Secure your router Change your routers default username and password, do not leave it at factory preset, doing so makes it easy for unauthorised access. Encrypt your network. Set your wireless network encryption to a minimum level of WPA-PSK [TKIP]. This will help prevent any unauthorised users "piggybacking" onto your network and stealing your bandwidth which you have rightly paid for. I have included some security related articles that I advise you read through in your own time. These articles will give you tips and advice on preveting malware, and how to stay safe whilst browsing the internet. -> So How Did I Get Infected In First Place - By TonyKlein -> How to prevent Malware - By miekiemoes -> I'm not pulling your leg, honest - By Sandi Hardmeie **Kindly respond one more time and let me know if we may consider this thread resolved.
