My laptop was booting up slower than it used to. The hourglass took a long time to go away and sometimes the icons took a long time to pop on the screen. I ran AVG which found cookies and a possible trojan SIntfNT.dll in a temp directory. It was still slow. I used Revo Uninstaller and deleted every program I don't use and removed everything I knew I didn't want at startup. I deleted any folders in my program files I didn't want and defragged. I removed all versions of Java and Acrobat and installed the newest versions. The hourglass now goes away almost immediately on startup.
The laptop came with a free trial of Vongo installed. I don't think I ever used it, and I uninstalled it using windows add/delete programs a looong time ago. I was cleaning up my hd and found that vongo still had a folder in program files. I deleted the folder. Ran hjt and have been trying to delete the entry associated with vongo but it keeps coming back on reboot. Ran a system search and found Vongo has folders at:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs
C:\SWSetup
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Start Menu\Programs
Revo Uninstaller doesn't have it listed and I'm not sure if I should delete these folders and then the key manually or try another uninstaller or... ?
And as for the rest of the stuff in the log, anything that needs to go? I'd like to get rid of anything that's an auto updater.. and what's up with InstallShield?
Thanks!
Heather
