    I've been having some issues with slow processing speed, and often times my computer will be running at or near 100% for memory usage. After running Ad-Aware it notified me of 3 Hijacks, but would not remove them.

    I've run Spyware S&D, CCleaner, Malwarebytes, ComboFix, and HijackThis

    All logs and .zip will be attached.

    Thank you for any help or advice you can provide me with!

    I'm going to take a shower and after wards run out to rent a 306 game, I'll be checking back before I leave, and frequently throughout the night! Thanks again to any and all who can offer their time and assistance!

    Sorry for the delay as we are very busy at this time.

    Your logs look clean, though there are a few things to attend to:

    Please use add/remove programs to uninstall:
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10"
    Java(TM) 6 Update 3

    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following ( be sure to re-enable when we are finished):


    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it. (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) 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:
    NOTE: HJT may popup an error about the AppInit_DLLs line. Ignore it and click OK to continue.

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Now Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
    Now to remove some leftover services from the McAfee removal that was done:

    Open notepad and copy and paste the following text in the quote box into the window:
    Save this as fix.bat
    Choose to save as all files.
    Doubleclick fix.bat and let the program run.
    A small black dos window will flash, this is normal.

    Let me know if you get a success message.

    Then reboot and install:
    Java Runtime

    Tell me how things are running.

    Thanks for the feedback! I've been very overwhelmed myself so I havent been able to get around to trying those suggestions. I should be trying them tomorrow, and I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.

    I ran into some issues recently when my Windows Updater tried to install Windows XP service Pack 3. For some reason the installation would pause an: Access Denied would flash up, halting the update. I think it has something to go with my firewall, or perhaps my registry.

    Thanks, I followed all your steps, and everything worked fine until the last bit (cleaning out McAfee components). The dos window would pop up very briefly, but I could read: OpenService Failed 1060
    The specified service does not exist, an installed servcice

    I do little clean ups here and there, and have gone through with CCleaner, as well as manually removing any components I could find via explorer. Maybe this just means that I'm in the clear?

    Also I'm going to re-try the XP Svc Pack 3, now that I've figured out how to disable AVG I think that it should be successful. Thank you for your help, and if you'd like I can repost logs to see if anything further is needed. Let me know!

    Just to be on the safe side I would like to see the new C:\MLogs.zip.
