Recently I was forced to change the motherboard in my dell insipron 9100, but even before then startup on this machine had been extremely slow... any assistance is appreciated.

[dorts]

Hello and welcome back to TSF.

If you received help from another forum, I would request you continue with that forum. Or if you are receiving help from other sources, I would request you to stop and continue here. :grin: Is that fine? As it would be wasting our effort if 2 people are helping at the same time.

 

[zyklon]

That's fine, my other source didn't really seem to be able to help any more anyways

 

[dorts]

Thank you. :grin:

Please read this post completely before begining the fix. If there's anything that you do not understand, kindly ask your questions before proceeding. Please ensure that there aren't any opened browsers when you are carrying out the procedures below. Save the following instructions in Notepad as this webpage would not be available when you're carrying out the fix. Please stay with me until your system has been declared clean.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU DON'T MISS A STEP & PERFORM EVERYTHING IN THE RIGHT ORDER.


Downloads and others

Please download Combofix using this link. DO NOT run it yet.

* IMPORTANT !!! Place combofix.exe on your Desktop


Please download ATF Cleaner - http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1


I see you have Ewido anti-spyware 4.0 installed. Ewido has recently been purchased by Grisoft, makers of AVG Antivirus, and the program is now known as AVG Anti-Spyware. It is essentially the same program with a new paintjob; Ewido currently can still be updated to the newest definitions, but this support will likely not last forever. I recommend you uninstall Ewido 4.0, restart your system, then download and install AVG Anti-Spyware. Update it's definitions as directed below, and run a scan where I have it placed in this fix.

Download AVG Anti Spyware

Use the link at the bottom of the page under "AVG Anti-Spyware Free for Windows"

• Install AVG Anti Spyware
• Double-click the icon on Desktop to launch AVG
• On the top of the main screen click Shield
• Click the word active to change it to inactive
• On the top of the main screen click Update.
• Then click on Start Update. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
• Once the update has completed select the "Scanner" icon at the top of the screen, then select the "Settings" tab.
• Once in the Settings screen click on "Recommended actions" and then select "Quarantine".
• Under "Reports"
  • Select "Automatically generate report after every scan"
  • Un-Select "Only if threats were found"

When you have finished updating, EXIT AVG Anti Spyware. Do Not run a scan just yet, we will shortly.


Safe Mode

• Restart your computer.
• Before the Windows logo appear, tap F8 repeatedly. In some systems, this may be the F5 key.
• A menu should appear, select Safe Mode from the menu using your arrow keys and then hit Enter on your keyboard.
• This will take a while than usual, so just wait.
• After it loads, Login on your usual account.

Fixes with HijackThis

Open HijackThis and click on 'Do a System Scan Only'. Check the following entries (If they still exist, make sure you do not miss any)


F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\system32\Userinit.exe


Please remember to close all other windows, including browsers then click Fix checked.

  Once the scan is complete do the following:

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.

Nothing bad is showing in your logs. How is your startup speed? Maybe I can help you see which programs are not required to startup if you wish. :grin:

 

[zyklon]

Sure I guess removing some of the stuff at startup might help, it's fast logging into windows and everything, but when I go on my user it takes quite a while to load

 

[dorts]

I'll list those HijackThis entries that IMHO can be fixed in order to stop them from starting up. Some of the entries I listed may be programs that you use and need. For those, you may choose not to fix their respective entries. Sorry if it is a bit untidy. :grin:

Ok thanks for all of your help, I'll post back if I have any trouble

 

[dorts]

I have some tips here :grin: I'll close this thread in a few days. So if there are any more problems, please post them here.

Reset hidden/system files and folders

• Click Start.
• Open My Computer.
• Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
• Select the View tab.
• Deselect the Show hidden files and folders option.
• Select the Hide file extensions for known types option.
• Select the Hide protected operating system files option.
• Click Yes to confirm.
• Click OK.

Create a new System Restore point

• click Start >> Run - type SYSDM.CPL & press Enter
• select the System Restore Tab
• tick on the checkbox - "Turn off System Restore on all drives"
• click Apply
• then untick the same checkbox & click OK

Enable Windows Auto Update

• Go to Start>Run - type wuaucpl.cpl
• tick on the checkbox - "Keep my computer up to date"
• Under settings, choose "Automatically download the updates, and install them on the schedule that I specify".
• Click on "OK".

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs:

• SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
  • Install & update SpywareBlaster with the latest definitions.
    After you have updated, click the button - enable protection for all unprotected items
• SpywareGuard to catch and block spyware before it can execute.
  
• SPYBOT - SEARCH & DESTROY
  Download and install Spybot - Search & Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with the program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here
  
• AD-AWARE
  Download and install Ad-Aware. You should use this program to scan your computer on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot. A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here
  
• Winpatrol - Download and install the free version of Winpatrol.
  A tutorial for this product is located here:
  Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software
  
  
• IE-SPYAD - IE/Spyad places more than 4000 dubious websites and domains in the IE Restricted list. This severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (Cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • Download IE-SpyAD - Extract the contents to a new folder
    From within the folder, double-click install.bat
    Select Option #2 - Install the new IE-SPYAD list.
    Then return to the main menu.
    Select option #4 - Add the old porn sites domain
  
  
  
• MVPS HOST FILE
  The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one that will restrict known ad sites form serving you unsolicited advertisements. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is the IP of your local computer.
  • Download Host.zip to your desktop.
  • From your Desktop right-click (hosts.zip) and select:
    Extract All from the menu.
    
  • Click Next, click Next, select the option:
    "Show Extracted files", click Finish
    
  • This will open the newly created hosts folder on your Desktop.
    
  • Double-click on the included mvps.bat file, this will rename the existing HOSTS file to HOSTS.MVP, then it will copy the included updated HOSTS file to the correct location on your machine.
  
  
  
• ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE
  It is very important that you have anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.
  
  See this link for a listing of some online antivirus scanners:
  
  Anti-Spyware Tutorial
  
  If you do not have a firewall, here are 4 free ones available for personal use:
  
  • ZoneAlarm
  • Avast Antivirus/Firewall
  • Tiny Personal Firewall
  • OutPost Firewall

In light of your recent troubles, I'm sure you'll like to avoid any future infections. Please take a look at these well written articles

• HOW DID I GET INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE?
• THE ANTI-SPYWARE TUTORIAL
• MAKING INTERNET EXPLORER SAFER

As well as a great article written by our fellow Security Analyst, Glaswegian.
