Help: Computer Behaving Suspiciously

Unread postby srs » May 9th, 2007, 4:22 am

Hello

Can someone help please.

This morning my computer started behaving strangely. After boot-up it was very slow to run any of my programs (eg outlook, word etc). It even stopped responding altogether. After about 5-10 mins it was back to normal. However, every time I now reboot, it goes through the same suspicious behaviour.

I am running Windows XP (service pack 2).

I set out below my HJT log.

Thanks
srs

_________________________________
Hello again SRS.

The fixes we will use are specific to your problems and should only be used for this issue on this machine.

Please only use this topic to reply to. Do not start another thread.
If any other issues arise let me know.
The process is not instant. Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine is clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear. So lets do this to the end!
Please if you decide to seek help at another forum let us know. There is a shortage of helpers and tying 2 of us up is a waste of time.
If you have any questions about any advice given here please STOP and ask!

After what we were through last time why don't I see an active anti virus running!!!


Lets start here.





I see no signs of an anti virus program.. I suggest you get one in asap.
I will list 2 free anti virus programs just choose 1.

AVG FREE

Avast

Download and install one of these and run a full scan.



__________________________________
I see no evidence of a fire wall. I suggest you get one in place now.

A few words on Microsofts firewall. It only works in one direction. Incoming.
That means if something gets by it you would never know it was trying
to contact the internet.
Example: A bad program installs itself. You would never know it was contacting the internet.
Downloading other nasties and so forth.

If you decide to run one of these you should be certain Microsofts firewall is disabled.
To disable it.

I will list a few free firewalls for you. These are good (free) firewalls:

Never run 2 firwalls together. They will interfere with each other.
So just download and install one!



Zone Alarm Easiest to use
Kerio
Sygate
Outpost



___________________________________
Download and keep these updated and run weekly if you don't already have them.

After that please post back a new HJT log and let me know if your problems persist.
