Hi, My pc has 8 Gb of Ram and ihas a Core2Duo processor, a GEforce 8500T Graphics card and i'm running Windows Xp Pro x64, but just seems to chug along very slowly. I've posted a Hijack this log file, to find out if this show's the problem. Can anyone help please?

Please note that all instructions given are customised for this computer only, the tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections.

If you think you have similar problems, please post a log in the HJT forum and wait for help.


Hello and welcome to the forums

My name is Katana and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

Please observe these rules while we work:
  1. Please Read All Instructions Carefully
  2. If you don't understand something, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
  3. Please do not run any other tools or scans whilst I am helping you
  4. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
    (Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)


If you can do those few things, everything should go smoothly

Please Note, your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use.
Be assured, any links I give are safe


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I apologize for the delay in responding, but as you can probably see the forums are quite busy.
Unfortunately there are far more people needing help than there are helpers.

Please note, since you are using a 64 bit machine most of the tools we would normally use will not function.

If you still require help please do the following



OTViewIt

  1. Please download OTViewIt and save it to your desktop.
  2. Double click on OTViewIt.exe to run it.
  3. Click on the Run Scan button at the top left hand corner.
  4. OTViewIt will start running. When done, 2 Notepad files will open. Please post the contents of these 2 files in your next reply. 1 log per reply please.
