Recurring Startup/Shutdown Problem

Progress:

I have followed the instructions in the "before you post a hijack this log". I use Spyware Doctor instead of Spybot S&D. Is this acceptable? Microsoft Antispyware removed ShotAtHome and KaZaA. KaZaA was once on this computer but was removed long ago. Why is this stuff still there? I did not use the online virus/trojan scans because they showed that it would take over 7 hours to scan my drive. I instead have used an updated Norton Antivirus to scan for viruses. I deleted my restore points after getting my system as clean as possible.

History:

A while back my startup/shutdown became so slow that, after many attempted repairs, I had to restore my system with a Norton Ghost image. I immediately ran all available scans after the restore. At that point Spyware Doctor found RegFreeze Hijacker, which it was unable to find before the restoration of the c: image. I have been having recurring problems ever since. Usually the shutdown takes forever after ccapp fails to end properly. The startup problems have been minimal since all of my repair efforts.

Setup:

I have a home network with two computers running Windows XP. One computer has Service Pack 2 and the other has Service Pack 1 (due to issues with certain pre-installed programs after an attempt to update to Service Pack 2 long ago). My cable internet service goes into a cable modem, then into a Lynksys router, then to two different computers. I can communicate between the computers and am not using ICS or ICF. I use Norton Antivirus and Norton Personal Firewall on both computers. I keep both computers up to date with windows updates, spyware doctor, ad-aware, and now all the new programs I learned of in your "before you post" instructions.

Questions:

I have sent both hijack this logs for a quick review. Do you need system information attached for each computer or can you get this from the hijack this log?

I often run windows media player from one computer and have it play media files from the other computer. Could constantly communicating between the two computers while connected to the internet be a security risk?

Please let me know if you see anything suspicious. Thanks so much.

In Addition:

I had a few problems recieving email through Outlook at about the same time as severe startup/shutdown problems. An icon kept appearing on the taskbar that said "Microsoft Outlook is synchronizing folders" and the program would just hang during send/recieve. I've since forwarded all my email accounts to Hotmail and do not use Outlook (disabled all send/recieve) except for contacts and tasks.

 

I have deleted the suggested entries and both entries that start with 18, as they were not needed or reported as spyware elsewhere. I am going to run Spybot S&D and a couple of the alternative scans in safe mode now. My Spyware Doctor is a paid subscription service. Here is the log from sfbl. It didn't seem to find anything. Your help is appreciated. Thank you so much.

Also, I was running the online scans in safe mode with networking. I have a cable internet connection that is very fast. Should I run the scans in normal bootup mode. Will this affect the speed of the scans or not since I have about 50GB of info/programs on my hard drive (all necessary). Thanks again.

 

Problems are back. Sometimes an Internet Explorer page will hang when attempting to close it. Seems the startup/shutdown problems will recur soon thereafter. Also, about:black window popped up with nothing in it. I've tried the manual fixes for this hijacker but they do not apply to me. The file in the registry I am supposed to look for does not exist. At one time I did have the coolwebsearch problem. Is there something that is not getting cleaned up. Startup/shutdown problem is always accompanied by ccApp.exe not ending properly at shutdown. Any of this help. Also here is my hjt log again after the last super slow startup (10 minutes).

 

Also, I logged into another user account on my computer and found that all spyware/adware scanners found problems under this login. Why as administrator, did scans while logged into my account not find problems under the other user accounts?
