Can you check my hijackthis log?

Please complete the other required steps of the READ & RUN ME.


You did not do step 6. There are two required scans to be run and the logs must be attached.

Also you did not run CounterSpy as requested and attach the log from it.

EDIT: Okay I now see Counter Spy! Why did you install it like that? That is bad thing to do. Always install software in their recommended default folders.

This looks like malware trying to pose as CounterSpy:
C:\DOWNLOADED VIRUS SCANS\SUNSERVER.EXE
C:\DOWNLOADED VIRUS SCANS\SUNPROTECTIONSERVER.EXE
C:\DOWNLOADED VIRUS SCANS\SUNTHREATENGINE.EXE

 

Please attach the BitDefender and Panda logs and then also do the below.

Make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

Run HijackThis and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O2 - BHO: NAV Helper - {BDF3E430-B101-42AD-A544-FADC6B084872} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: AIM Helper - {D70E6A20-7060-4829-B3D7-B6624A1DE7C6} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [p76X37h] MSMLPAPI.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [mkezrjkfrtjr] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\cdarmwky.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [qxqv] C:\WINDOWS\qxqv.exe

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.
Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
C:\WINDOWS\MSMLPAPI.EXE or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSMLPAPI.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\cdarmwky.exe
C:\WINDOWS\qxqv.exe

If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file.

Now run Ccleaner (installed while running the READ ME FIRST).

Now we need to Reset Web Settings:
1) If you have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, goto step 2. If not, skip to step 3.
2) Now right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK. Then skip step 3.
3) If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.

Reminder Note: Once we have determined you are malware free you will need to disable System Restore, reboot, and re-enable system restore per step 1 of the READ & RUN ME. This only applies to if using WinXP or WinMe.

 

We said to download them there! We did not say install them there. Downloading and installing are not the same thing!

I just noticed you did that for the other tools too. Like Spybot: C:\DOWNLO~1\SPYBOT~1\SDHELPER.DLL

You should uninstall all tools you installed this way and install them properly.

 

I doubt your problems are related to malware. It is potentially just due to the way Win98 works after a while. It does get slow. Even things like delete files from the recycle bin can take minutes. I had a Win98 pc once where I, right click on the Recycle Bin icon and told it to Empty and there was only one file in it. It took almost 3 minutes for it to complete and during that time the PC was basically unusable. There was no malware at play either.

In your particular case I would ask home much memory your have and what is your CPU speed?

Is your PC very slow when booting into safe mode?

What kind of connection to the Internet do you have (dial-up, DSL, cable)?

If DSL or Cable, have you tried booting without the ethernet cable plugged in? This is the cable from your PC to the DSL or Cable modem (or to a router if you have one).

You may want to try completely uninstalling McAfee and see if it improves. McAfee and Norton are tremendous resource hogs.

Also you should try getting rid of unnecessary items you are running at startup and other junk hung on to IE (like toolbars).

You don't need the below:
O4 - Startup: Microsoft Find Fast.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\FINDFAST.EXE <--- fast find is a massive resource hog
O4 - Startup: Office Startup.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\FINDFAST.EXE

Do you really need the AIM & Google Toolbars?

 

You need to have an antivirus actively running or you will have problems. If McAfee is causing you that much of a problem, dump it and try the free ones mentioned in the below link (which you should read and do anyway):
