Hi everyone,

My internet explorer seems to be operating a bit slower then usual and constantly freezing up. I have already run spybot search and destroy, and that turned up a few things and removed them....but I'm still a bit sluggish. Are there any things in my log that shouldn't be there:)

Hello tapia66 , welcome to the MRW


I suggest you do this:

Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LoadQM] loadqm.exe

O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm (file missing)

O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm (file missing)

These are resource hogs and not needed at startup.
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RealTray] C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\RealPlay.exe SYSTEMBOOTHIDEPLAYER

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\QTTASK.EXE" -atboottime

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"



Download and run.
