    My system is taking a very long time to boot into the OS and when running IE, the CPU runs at close to 100%.

    I have run steps 1-6 of the Read and Run Me First document.

    I have collected some files already but would like to see if posting my log files would be ok. (counterspy, activescan, runkeys, newfiles)

    If so I will post those files as well as a HijackThis log file.

    Thankyou in advance,
    Jon

    Do you have a BitDefender log?

    No problems were found in the BitDefender log. I no longer have that log file.

    Sorry,

    You are running 2 Resident Antivirus applications. You only need 1. Having more that 1 resident Antivirus application on your computer will cause problems. They will interfere with each of and create conflicts, causing system performance to suffer. Pick one uninstall the other.

    HijackThis is still not in the location specified by our tutorial. Right-click on the underlined text and Save Link as to your Desktop. Move_HijackThis.vbs

    Double-click Move_HijackThis.vbs on your Desktop. This script will move HijackThis to the proper location. DO THIS before you continue with my instructions.

    Using Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel; uninstall the following:Windows Messenger is running in the background on this computer, and represents a security risk. Remove Windows Messenger by running Uninstall Messenger. If you are using this as your IM client then replace it with MSN Messenger.

    Locate FixReg.reg on your Desktop. Double-click on it and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to merge with the registry.

    Run HijackThis. Click the 'Do a system scan only' button. Place a checkmark in the box next to the following lines:
    Click on the 'Fix checked' button. Wait for HijackThis to finish; close HijackThis.

    Now run Pocket Killbox:

    Choose Tools -> Delete Temp Files and click Delete Selected Temp Files
    Then after it deletes the files click the Exit (Save Settings) button.

    NOTE: Pocket Killbox will only list the added files it is able to find on the system. So when you do the below, if some files do not show in the list after pasting them in, just continue..

    Select:
    • Delete on Reboot
    • then Click on the All Files button.
    • Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):
    • Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
    • Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click OK at any PendingFileRenameOperations prompt (and please let me know if you receive this message!).
    If Killbox does not reboot or you get a Pending Operations type error message just reboot your PC yourself.

    REBOOT to Normal Mode.
