    Hi,
    I tried to post with log yet it does not let me so I will tell you my problem then if you need the logs I will provide. I have a dell desktop PC that runs XP and is SUPER SLOW. I personally don't use it much however my kids do. They play games, download itunes stuff like that and I don't approve of this on a PC as I think that's what infects us, Nevertheless. The system is very slow especially during a re-boot. The start up is very long.

    I have uninstalled both limewire and itunes and spend 1 day reading throughout the forums and done some cleaning before I did this post. Spybot seems to never find anything anymore. I'm old school yes so what I did was uninstalled spybot and replaced it with Malwarebytes This did find some things and fixed. I thinks a decent program. Is this better then spybot?

    Nevertheless here is what I have done. Now keep in mind since I've done this 1 day of reading and 1 day of cleaning it seems like its running a bit better however still slower then what I remembered it being. Please check out what I've done below and the logs. I'm open for suggestions. Thanks for you kind assistance in advance!


    1. I ran a Dr.Web it found some problems ..
    2. I ran spybot it found nothing.
    3. I downloaded Malwarebytes it found some things (great program!)
    4. I ran a full scan of Bitdefender it found nothing
    5. I ran an online Kaspersky full scan. It found nothing.
    6. I did a pack 3 install update for windows
    7. I ran a Ccleaner to rid the junk
    8. I downloaded and ran Otlistit2
    9. I downloaded and ran Rooter
    10. A fresh rebbot and Ccleaner
    11. I seen that CCleaner is an old recommendation for XP so I uninstalled it and installed the newer ATF cleaner ( was that a better option?

    Let me know if I should do something else? Thank you in advance
