System Check-up

doc2b113 · Sep 10, 2006

My computer has been running slugishly lately and I just wanted to do a check-up on it to make sure nothing was wrong with it. I have read the sticky and completed all the steps. However, the online scans would not work in safe mode because every time I tried to type in safe mode nothing happend, and the mouse wouldn't move. The logs are attached. Could someone look at them and let me know if anything looks wrong or unnecessary? Thank You

You must attach the other two logs from GetRunKey and ShowNew that were requested while running the READ ME.

Please note that slow PC's are often not malware but rather the slowness may be due to what you have installed and are running.

Sorry about not posting the other two, I forgot to put them in. I understand that the slowness may be due to what is in my computer, but I was just wondering if there was any suspicious or suspect programs/spyware/malware that me be slowing it down also?

You did not follow all the instructions in the READ ME:

1) Viewpoint Media Player should have been uninstalled in step 0
2) Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_05 is way out of date and you should have updated in step 6.
3) Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 has not been used in over 2 year. You should have installed the version from the link in the READ ME.

However that all being said, as I suspected, your problems are not malware. Your largest contributor to your PC being slow is probably Norton Internet Security!
