win xp system cleaning logs

Yes and there appear to be several reasons why and none of them are malware. Here is what I see:

1. Older slower style processor:
2. Not enough memory to properly run Windows XP:
3. Strain introduce by too many security programs
   AVG appears to be uninstalled however not properly. Seem like you may have installed all of these and more in a very short time period. I see signs of McAfee too.

Let's try a couple things. First you must run MSconfig and put this PC into Normal Startup mode. MSconfig must not be used as a startup manager. See >> Dealing with Startup Process Make sure that you do this step with MSconfig and then reboot before continuing.

Now uninstall the below:
Advanced SystemCare 6
COMODO Internet Security
Smart Defrag 2
SUPERAntiSpyware

Again, make sure that you uninstall ALL of the above before continuing with the below because the below will break any of them that are still installed.


Please download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

• Run it by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7, or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).
• Copy the lines from the below codebox to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C
  (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy): Do not include the word Code: which is just a title line of
  the code box

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar
  ) and choose Paste.
• Now click the large http://forums.majorgeeks.com/chaslang/images/MoveIt!.png button.
• If OTM asks to reboot your computer, allow it to do so. The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot.
• Close OTM.

Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be
saved in the form of Date and Time mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log. Just look for the most recent .log file. Attach
this log file to your next message.


Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

• the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Just edit your C:\boot.ini file. It currently has the below in it.

Remove the red highlighted line.

 

Has nothing to do with the fixes made. Nothing was changing any hardware configuration. You can allow it to go thru the hardware wizard and see what happens. If it is unknown, I don't see how it could be fixed though.

 

You are only supposed to run what is requested an nothing else. Defogger has nothing to do with those instructions.

I don't recommend performance tweakers and especially do not recommend using any registry cleaner tweaking tool. The can frequently cause more harm then good in the long run. Registry cleaning should only be run exactly as advised by an expert and then only specific things should be fixed. Registry cleaners can show hundreds to thousands of issues on brand new Windows installations. Obviously, they are not problems at all.

As long as you only install Comodo's Firewall and nothing else. It is much more secure than the Windows firewall but you do have to put up with more questions about approving what is allowed to run.



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

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
2. Go back to step 4 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
4. If running Vista or Win 7, 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. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) 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.
6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
7. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 6 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.
8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
