There was no option to create a report from the Panda ActiveScan, as there were 0 problems found during the scan.

 

Re: Hijackthis log file

And here is the Hijackthis log file.

 

I have been through every single step in the READ & RUN ME FIRST Malware Removal Guide as advised and only found 2 bits of Spyware, which I quarantined. I can provide details if necessary.

I have a few questions as a result of running the READ & RUN ME FIRST Malware Removal Guide:

1. When I used the Malware Removal Guide in the past, I downloaded Ad-Aware and Windows Defender, and have continued to use these ever since. I notice they are no longer recommended in the latest READ & RUN ME FIRST Malware Removal Guide. Should I still keep them and run them?

2. After running Counterspy it said it couldn't generate a system restore point. Is this significant?

3. I did step 6A in normal mode, as I rebooted from Safe Mode with Networking (modem unplugged) too soon...I didn't read on before hand! 1. Was it OK to use Safe Mode with Networking as oppose to Safe Mode for Step 5? 2. Was it OK that I used Normal Mode for step 6?

4. When I logged off and rebooted out of Safe Mode with networking, I got this message: Other people logged on this PC. Restartting may cause them to loose data. Do you want to restart?
Is this OK/normal??

5. When i finshed downloading Java 6.0 I granted it approval to the registery, so that Java 6.0 can automatically start up whenever Windows loads. Is that OK?
I blocked an Active X control access though!

 

I have not turned off system restore, restarted my PC and turned it back on. However, after all this, and running all the scans etc, I am still getting the same problem, in that my PC is running so slowly. It takes minutes for Internet Explorer and other applications to load up. It has only been like this the last few months. I keep getting a message up saying my machine is low on virtual memory too. I do however have plenty of free disc space, as i cleared a lot of rubbish out, like movies and music before Xmas.

Any thoughts? Is it a process running in the background that may be causing this? I guess Hijackthis will tell us that?

 

I meant I HAVE turned off system restore, restarted my PC and turned it back on.

 

Thanks very much for the detailed, fast response. I will uninstall the old versions of Java 2 Runtime Environment and CounterSpy.

Do you still need to analyise the logs I posted? Are there any processes I can kill from the HJT?
