AntiVirus XP 2008 Help!

[turtledove]

Hello Mikchi,
Thank you for letting me know. Did you try while you had your Anti Virus program on? That may /can interfere with online scanners. Also, are you using the AVG 8 that includes the Firewall?
The issue with more bars is okay, just showing that it's taking time to load.

First
For now, Uninstall, as shown below.
Your Adobe Acrobat 6 versions are likely hanging up the computer, as old uninstallers will/may do. Uninstall it first, as follows, then reboot PC.
First
Go to Start-->> Control Panel-->> Add/Remove Programs:

Remove Adobe Reader 6.0.2 and 6.0.1

Reboot PC
**Please follow above procedure for all Adobe versions before updates are applied.
Then please do ALL the updates at Adobe site listed in my previous post.**


Second
Let's run the following to see what may be causing any other problems or slowdowns.

• Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random/random from here and save it to your desktop.
  
• Double click on RSIT.exe to run RSIT.
  
• Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
  
• Once it has finished, two logs will open. Please post the contents of both log.txt (<<will be maximized) and info.txt (<<will be minimized)

Third
Run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Open Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware through Start-->> Programs

• Select Update Tab
  
• Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  
• Then click Finish.
  
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  
• Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad. please copy and paste the log into your next reply.
  
• If it needs to do a delete on reboot, please do so.
  
• If you accidently close it, the log file is saved here and will be named like this: C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\mbam-log-date (time).txt
  

Post
log.txt
info.txt
mbam-log-date (time).txt

Hi Turtledove,

Sorry I haven't responded as soon as I normally do, just been bogged down with college coursework and my job.

I will get these posted up when I wake up at it's almost 2am here and I've just come off a 16 hour day so I need my sleep

Thanks for the patience
