Malware check for PC

So far so clean, but give me a moment to view the MGLogs.zip.

 

Your logs are clean, but they will not stay that way unless you install an AV program.

We can clean up two items with HJT:

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:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real time protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.We recommend them for doing backup scans when you suspect a malware infection.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
     
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
     
     
   
   
3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
     for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
   
   
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

Slow? With all this RAM:

Code:

Total Physical Memory    192.00 MB    
Available Physical Memory    75.33 MB    

You have got to be kidding!! I am amazed it actually runs for you. Go to crucial.com and see how much RAM the system will hold and upgrade it unless the computer is too old to be feasible.

 

Yes, you can just delete them.

 

It gets worse!! Look at the processor type and speed

Code:

Processor x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 3 GenuineIntel ~701 Mhz 

This is an antique and it cannot properly run current versions of Windows XP or anything newer. Installing any protection will bring it to a standstill as modern day protection programs require significantly more memory then this PC even has installed and likely more than the max the PC can handle. This PC probably maxes out at 384 to 512 MB.

 

Agreed!! Plus your hard drive is only 17.8 gigs. The cost to try to upgrade would be wasted on this system.

 

You are most welcome. Happy holidays to you too!!
