PC very slow to Log on

Hi ya

We are currently reviewing your logs and will get back to you with a set of instructions as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience during this time.

Kes

 

1. You should tidy up your desktop a little: C:\Documents and Settings\Murchg\Desktop

2. Please go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the following software:

• Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6

3. Now we need to use ComboFix to check out a directory, remove some old symantec remains and also remnants from running smitfraud tools.

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
• If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it

(make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):

Code:

KILLALL::

Driver::
SymEFA

File::
C:\WINDOWS\system32\REN30.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\REN30.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\REN31.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\REN32.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\REN50.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\REN51.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\REN52.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\REN6A.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\REN6B.tmp
C:\WINDOWS\system32\REN6C.tmp
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\N360BUOptions.ini

DirLook::
C:\TMP

Folder::
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Norton

Registry::
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\SymEFA.sys]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]
"BootExecute"=hex(7):61,75,74,6f,63,68,65,63,6b,20,61,75,74,6f,63,68,6b,20,2a,00,00

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe

• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.


4. Now reboot your machine and install the most current and up to date version of Java available here at the below link:

Java Runtime 6


5. Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Combofix

6. Let us know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now.

 

Your logs are clean

Any slowness you are still experiencing may have to be worked out in the software forum.

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 significant 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 (if it exists)
3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
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:
   • How to Protect yourself from malware!
