Does Spyware burn itself onto a CD with data?

I assume you were referring to: How to Protect yourself from malware!
That is to help protect you from future problems. Follow the steps below if already having problems.

First, please follow ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal
If you already have any of the programs linked in the tutorial please double check your version to make sure you have the latest one and that you have any/all updates for the programs.

NOTE: In order to resolve the issues you are having it is very important that you at least try to perform all the steps as outlined. If you have any difficulty please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything and details about any problems you have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better.


After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:

Make sure you have HijackThis 1.99 and follow the guidelines on where to install it and how to post a log as an attachment. This is all covered in the sticky thread NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

Now post a HijackThis as a .txt file attachment to your message. All running programs should be closed, including your web browser, e-mail. Close before running Hijack This!

To repeat: Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT

 

Did you really uninstall Norton 2005? The HJT tutorial just requests that you end the processes before running HJT. Are you still experiencing the 100% CPU useage problems right now with Norton uninstalled?

I would run HJT and have it fix the next line below, but I don't think it is the cause of your problem.
O16 - DPF: {D9EA64B2-B966-E177-332C-78B69886526D} (MNPerformer Class) - http://download.newaol.com/bkpromo/download/PerformerSetup.cab


Are the next two lines what is required by your ISP?
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = 10.15.0.91:3128
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{6AA1C332-897B-4413-B14C-00AF6FF74DF6}: NameServer = 10.15.0.91

Why are you running msconfig at startup? Are you using a selective startup?
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSConfig] C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe /auto

If so, click Start, Run, then enter msconfig in the box and click OK.

In the window that comes up, click the General tab and make sure normal startup is selected. We need to see everything that you system really wants to load.

Now reboot and then post a new HJT log. If still having a problem, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up Task Manager and click the Processes tab. Tell me which process is using all the CPU time.

 

Don't stop anything! For you particular problem I want to see everything that loads and runs (that is why I don't want msconfig to limit anything from loading).

Idle CPU is not usage. It's just what it says. The CPU is idle. Normally this will hover in the high 97 to 99 % area as long as you have no scanning operations running and are not actively click and opening and closing processes. What process (or processes) are using the other 18%, and is it always totalling to about 18 %?

This Findfast process is not required and has always been know to be a resource waster. Also it can be the cause of lots of unnecessary disk activity. I would have HJT fix the next line.
O4 - Startup: Microsoft Find Fast.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\FINDFAST.EXE

You have two of these OSA.EXE processes loading. Have HJT fix the second one.
O4 - Startup: Office Startup.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA.EXE
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE

 

Your log is clean. You just have a lot of stuff running. I don't understand why they are using CPU time if the processes are currently doing nothing. For example, you said "explorer taking about 9, taskmanager about 20." If I'm just sitting here with many process loaded but I'm doing nothing but just looking at the Process list in Task Manager, explorer.exe is 0% CPU and about 25.1 Mb of mem. Task Manager is 0% CPU and about 2.18 Mb of mem.

You may want to consider not allowing certain items to load that you don't use. Don't use msconfig for that. Use a startup manager or just completely remove them from startup if you don't need them.

Note: You have a LexMark printer. Some of their process have been known to cause Windows Startup problems and also be resource hogs.

This is a better thing to use than msconfig.
