laptop infected win32:dialer-ABP

Welcome to Major Geeks!

All or your logs are clean.

Your slow PC is just that! It is a slow old PC with inadequate memory to properly run current modern day Windows XP SP3 and other software. It was sort of fine in 2004, but not anymore.

Your logs show the below:

Code:

Processor x86 Family 6 Model 13 Stepping 6 GenuineIntel ~1294 Mhz 
BIOS Version/Date Dell Inc. A11, 16/08/2005 
Total Physical Memory 768.00 MB 
Available Physical Memory 184.27 MB

We recommend a minimum of 2 GB ( equal to 2048 MB ) or memory. You have just a little more than 1/3 of that. And your processor is old and slow.

Everytime you update Windows and other applications there is an effect. Eventually the effect is the same as "the straw the breaks the camel's back".

Per the below, it looks like your PC may be upgradeable to 2GB which could extend the useful life of the PC, but it is simply gettng to old and the processor will still be old:

You're welcome.

Well if you want to improve the startup time and overall performance while you wait to get the new PC, you can do the below. This is not a malware fix. It is just some tips/tricks to remove things you don't need.


Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win 7, 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:

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BA52B914-B692-46c4-B683-905236F6F655} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IgfxTray] C:\WINDOWS\system32\igfxtray.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HotKeysCmds] C:\WINDOWS\system32\hkcmd.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Dell QuickSet] C:\Program Files\Dell\QuickSet\quickset.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PCMService] "C:\Program Files\Dell\Media Experience\PCMService.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [DVDLauncher] "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\DVDLauncher.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RealTray] C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\RealPlay.exe SYSTEMBOOTHIDEPLAYER
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [UpdateManager] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Sonic\Update Manager\sgtray.exe" /r
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Java\Java Update\jusched.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [Malwarebytes Anti-Malware] C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe /install /silent
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Google Update] "C:\Documents and Settings\Liz Sargeant\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe" /c
O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Reader Speed Launch.lnk = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\reader_sl.exe

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Also you don't need the below services from Google to be running:

O23 - Service: Google Update Service (gupdate) (gupdate) - Google Inc. - C:\Program Files\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe
O23 - Service: Google Update Service (gupdatem) (gupdatem) - Google Inc. - C:\Program Files\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe
O23 - Service: Google Updater Service (gusvc) - Google - C:\Program Files\Google\Common\Google Updater\GoogleUpdaterService.exe

But you cannot simply stop these with HijackThis. You would need to do the below to first stop them and then disable them.


Open a command prompt window by clicking Start, Run, and enter cmd and click OK. If the window opens type each of the below commands in. Follow each by the enter key. Note there are spaces after the sc and after the stop and after the delete.

sc stop gupdate
sc delete gupdate
sc stop gupdatem
sc delete gupdatem
sc stop gusvc
sc delete gusvc

Then reboot your PC and check to see what kind of performance improvement there may be. It should help somewhat but it may not be night and day difference. When you free up memory from one program not running, other programs tend to grab more than previously used. Thus when you have so little memory in a PC, it can be difficult to make it significantly better.

 

You're welcome.
