    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    You need to attach the requested logs from SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes which can be found in the below locations:

    Code:
    "D:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\SUPERAntiSpyware.com\SUPERAntiSpyware\Logs\"
    supera~1.log  Sep 10 2008   596  "SUPERAntiSpyware Scan Log - 09-10-2008 - 23-39-30.log"
     
     
    "D:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\"
    mbam-l~1.txt  Sep 11 2008  1150  "mbam-log-2008-09-11 (22-17-24).txt"
    You PC just may not have enough horsepower to run Comodo. Also note that all protection software has an impact on startup time as it takes time for them to hook into your OS so that they can run properly. You should really focus on how things run after everything loads.

    A few minor items were removed; however you are not having malware problems. Doubling your RAM to 1GB would help but Comodo could still be too much for your processor. You may want to uninstall it and try another firewall to see if it helps. See the free ones listed in the below, but stay away from Online Armor which is more resource intensive than Comodo. However I again emphasize that if everything is fine after boot up, then just be more patient. ;)

    How to Protect yourself from malware!


    Now we need to cleanup some items from running ComboFix.

    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.
    Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
    to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.



    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significan amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    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" /u
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
      • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix.
    3. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    4. 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.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    7. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
