    Hello-

    I have a Windows XP machine which is all updated with the latest window updates etc. I am aware that this machine is old, it's a 2nd machine. It is running very slow. It takes a long time to boot but it also takes a long time to launch a program. It also seems to run better on the Administrator account vs the Guest account but because of Windows XP vulnerabilities running as an Administrator I would like to get this fixed up.

    I ran all of the scans from the Read Me First/Windows XP Malware Removal/Cleaning Procedure page and all of the following scan logs are attached:

    RKreport[1].txt log from RogueKiller.
    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log
    TDSSKiller log
    HitmanPro log
    MGlogs.zip

    Thank you for your help!
    Brad

    Hi there. :)

    No signs of malware. If your computer seems sluggish, this is why:
    You just need to add some more memory.


    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. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    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, Win 7 or Win 8, 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. Now 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. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
