My computer is incredibly slow, many up-start apps.

Hi

Im running a dell M20 laptop,
Win XP Pro, Vers.2002, Service Pack 2, Pentium M, 2.00GHz, 1.00GB ram

My computer is extremely slow starting up.
i have been in contact with the malware forum, and it seems like I have no viruses. Have used CCcleaner as well.
With ccCleaner I have created a file of programs, that Im attaching here, for someone to valuate.

Please go through and tell me if Iam running some apps that arent nessesary or usefull. The file can be found here: In the software dep. "How To Speed Up Your Computer aka; My Computer is SLOW!!! "

For instance Im questioning the following:
Can they be deleted?

ccCommon
ccPxyCore
CC_ccProxyExt
mDriver
mDrWiFi
mHlpDell
mIWA
mIWCA
mLogView
mMHouse
Modem Helper
mPfMgr
mPfWiz
mProSafe
MSRedist
mSSO
mToolkit
mWlsSafe
mXML
mZConfig
SPBBC
SymNet
TrustIn Search Assistant
WebFldrs XP
Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications


THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR COLLABORATION.

 

Where did you get this list? Those don't look like software applications that boot up with your computer to me.

Start -> Run -> msconfig -> Startup tab
Will show you which programs are booting up with Windows.

 

Help is still needed. Please


Im attaching the full list created out of ccCleaner, which is a list of installed apps.

Furthermore I have attached a list of start-up programs. To me that looks more or less correct.
however the list of services running looks huge.

What can I do to speed up my comp?
My computer is running real slow, and I need to get it cleaned up.

Can anyone be of any assitance here?


thanks

Hallo again, both of you.

I have actually posted a few messages in that other forum that you are mentioning. However they directed me to this forum.

About the PC-de-crapifier, the only program it comes up with is Norton Antivirus, and since that is my virus protection Im not interested in deleting that particular program..

anything else in mind that I could try...

How about that huge list of services I attached earlier... Could I get you to look at that and give me your diagnosis. thanks!


regards,

 

and you mentioned "deleting" in 2 times

Dont delete a program if you want to take out, try to use uninstall it.

Norton is crap in memory




you can try AVG free

 

hello again,

sorry to inform you that even after uninstalling norton and setting up AVG virus protection, my computer still runs (from time to time) with 100% CPU performance/use - when Im not doing anything..

it has difficulties loading folders and it crashes more and more often.

what can I do?


still I think the list of services that I posted a few days ago, has issues in it that could/should certainly be erased. My problem is that I dont know which ones, and Im not out for trouble.

please help if you can..
thanks

 

hello again,

HAve tried the PandaActive Scan. The last time I ran it, it didnt find anything peculiar.
The programs that take up the CPU percentage varries between
IEXPLORER.EXE
SpySweeper.EXE
earlier on NORTON (which I have deleted)

It often takes up all the performance and crashes.

Could you please go through the list of processes running. Any specific directions on how to attach such a list?

thx in advance

 

Do you need SpySweeper running all the time, even when you are not actively scanning/

sorry for my inability to be more precise...

The application running is IEXPLORE.EXE (the part of Windows..)
Any way that you could go through that list of apps?

that would be highly appreciated.

 

You've got stuff on that list that's out of date. Have you gotten the latest MS security updates?

 

I have every update from Microsoft Update, could you specify which files I have on that list, that shouldnt be there or should be updated.

thanks again

 

You can start with updating Java from 6 to 8.

 

that doesnt seem to be a free version....
Im using the free one...
anything else I should do?

 

Hi again,
Could someone please tell me if I can delete the programs on this list:

Thanks for the quick resonse.

However Im still wondering if I can delete a few of the programs in the file I sent you in my previous message.

For instance: Things I dont use/know what is:


Can they be deleted?

ccCommon
ccPxyCore
CC_ccProxyExt
mDriver
mDrWiFi
mHlpDell
mIWA
mIWCA
mLogView
mMHouse
Modem Helper
mPfMgr
mPfWiz
mProSafe
MSRedist
mSSO
mToolkit
mWlsSafe
mXML
mZConfig
SPBBC
SymNet

Furthermore I have Windows Applications running that seem to be malware.
I have done a bit of resarch on the internet and found out that these proccesses are not wanted. How do I get rid of them?

Khalmnpr
Csrss.exe
dlbtbmgr.exe
dltbbmon.exe
explorer.exe
isass.exe
rundIl32.exe
Scardsvr.exe
Services.exe
Smss.exe
Spoolsv.exe
svchost.exe
wdfmgr.exe


Highly recommended to delete -right?

And then how?

 

Thank you. Will do that.
And to the other question: do you have a specific program in mind that can delete all the files, that I find to be either malware or simply not wanted.?

 

Thx
will try to do the scans again...
Another issue that have arised is that I cant open the Windows XP Firewall. IT seems to be down.
What can I do to fix that.
Im no longer running Norton Securiy, which had a firewall included.

As far as disabling processes that are running follow the instructions at this link http://www.majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=12
Use the safe settings first and see if this improves performance any. Do not disable too many processes at once as if you need something running it will take you forever to work out which one of your stopped processes it is.

Could also give this little proggy a try http://www.majorgeeks.com/Advanced_WindowsCare_v2_Personal_d4991.html
as I have personnaly found that it will make adjustments to windows to improve performance. The startups section will also suggest if certain things are required to run at start-up.

 

What can I delete out of this list?+
please go through it and be specific
cause I have no clue myself....

thanks

 

are all these things running? Deleting programs that are not active or do not start at boot time is not going to improve performance
