Slow searching

Hello redcap04,

I am glad the pc is running better.

Somehow you manage to save Kaspersky report as HTML, or you copied the entire page when Kaspersky finished, and not only the report..
Never mind.

Tell me do you know what is this on your desktop?

C:\Documents and Settings\Troilus\Desktop\Script\registryedit.vbs

It was created after the first time you run Combofix report.
Did you make any changes to the registry yourself?
----------------------------------------------
FileLook

• Double-click FileLook.exe to run it. (Vista users will almost certainly have to right click and select Run As Administrator)
• Ensure that the BBCode Ouput checkbox is checked.
• Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:
  
  

  C:\WINDOWS\DUMP7743.tmp
  
  C:\WINDOWS\DUMP073e.tmp
  
  

  
  
• Click the FileLook button to start the scan.
• When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.

Note: The log can also be found at C:\fl_log.txt
----------------------------------------------
Your Adobe Reader is disabled from start-up using msconfig.
You should update it as you have version 8.

Update Adobe Reader
Recently there have been vunerabilities detected in older versions of Adobe Reader. It is strongly suggested that you update to the current version. Adobe Reader 9.
You can download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
If you already have Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition installed or do not wish to have it installed UNcheck the box which says Also Download Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition.

Adobe 9 is a large program and if you prefer a smaller program you can get Foxit 2.0 instead from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php

Hello redcap04,

It was a script which just enabled registry editting i didnt use it much cause i barely get the chance to change lines in the registry. No i don't change lines directly.

Please avoid messing up with the registry, even with a tool.

A mistake can make your pc unbootable.
----------------------------------------------
Using Windows Explore by right-clicking the Start button and left clicking Explore navigate to and find the following files: if found, delete the following:

C:\WINDOWS\DUMP7743.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\DUMP073e.tmp
----------------------------------------------
I can't see any firewall in your HijackThis log, so i assume you use windows firewall.

FIREWALL
Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. If you use the Windows Firewall you might think that's sufficient but it only controls one way of the traffic (inbound). Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. It's preferable to install one of the suggested firewalls.
Vista users, must check compatibility with Vista before installation.

FREE FIREWALLS

• Comodo
• Outpost
• Sunbelt Kerio

Tutorial about Firewalls can be found here

Time for some housekeeping

• Click START then RUN
• Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK

The above procedure will:

• Delete the following:
  • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.

• Hide System/Hidden files, if required.

----------------------------------------------
Remove FileLook and the reports it created which should be located here:C:\fl_log.txt

OTCleanIt

Please download OTCleanIt and save it to desktop. This tool will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc.

• Double-click OTCleanIt.exe.

• The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself.

Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTCleanIt attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.

Congratulations you are clean!

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
