Hi, my name is Rick and I am new to the Forum. I live in the San Diego area and have been in construction my whole life. Yes, construction is slow here.
My question is: I recently picked up a virus on my computer and while trying to delete it ,I X’ed out of the Virus Icon. After that my computer started running painfully slow. I’m talking “painfully slow.” My PC has Microsoft Windows XP 2000. My antivirus at the time of the problem was Avast. I have since deleted that program.
I now have downloaded AVG and Spybot and ran those programs several times, sometimes taking all day to download and run. Everything seems to be good as far as the clean-ups on those antivirus and malware programs, but the computer was still running slow-slow.
I got a suggestion of going to the Start button on msconfig and stop any programs that I wasn’t using. I have very little computer savvy, so I just disabled the whole system at Start. After doing that my PC started like it did before I had any problems.
Does this help anybody with any thoughts on what the problem might be? I sure would appreciate some help on this?
 
Get rid of spybot and install malwarebytes and hijackthis and then post logs from both programs.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from here, here, here or here and save it to your desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • A log will be saved automatically which you can access by clicking on the Logs tab within Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

If you continue to experience problems after doing this, please post a HijackThis log by doing the following:

Download the HijackThis installer from here.
Run the installer and choose Install, indicating that you accept the licence agreement. The installer will place a shortcut on your desktop and launch HijackThis.

Click Do a system scan and save a logfile

Most of what HijackThis lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

Post the logfile that HijackThis produces along with the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log

If you can detect any program that you are sure about that it's the one then using registry cleaner "advanced system care" you can easily not just disable...you can delete the process from start menu..I do agree that Malwarebyte is a good one..try that and it might help with your problems...but to me when I was attacked by conflicker...The conflicker was preventing it from starting scan...
 
At this point, I'm just recommending to disable those 04 processes one at a time in msconfig until you find the culprit causing the slow down. You do have a lot of unneeded programs running at bootup. I'll have you disable ones that I would stop myself, if the problem persists then you'll have to continue disabling in msconfig until you find it.

Please rerun hijackthis and place a check next to these entries.

John, I went to msconfig and started each program one at a time. I never did get the impression that it was any particular one of them, but the PC did seem to just start slowing down the more of them I loaded back on. I did a boo boo and went into Hijackthis and x'ed ALL of the 04 and did a "fix and delete". Hopefully I didn't mess anything up. Everything seems to be running ok now so let me know what you think. I really appreciate your help. Rick
 
Please go into add/remove programs and uninstall all these entries.

Sounds to me like you have a software issue. Sounds like it may be time for a fresh install of windows? How long has it been since you've done a fresh install of windows on this machine? Your boo boo using hijackthis and be fixed by using the msconfig utility to reenable them if you want.
 
"Fresh install of Windows"? I'm a carpenter and concrete guy, so "Fresh" anything is all new to me. But I can give it a shot. How about some new instructions? Rick
 
A fresh install of windows all depends on what kind of computer this is and If you actually have an install cd or a recovery partition? Is this a custom built computer or a store bought pc? Would need brand and model number if store bought.
 
It is a custom built computer. I'll have to get any info for that pc when I get back home. Let me know what you need.
 
Would need to find your windows install cd. Or you would have to buy another copy if you don't have one.
 
John, my son-in-law built my computer and he is no longer around. I don't have the install cd so I would have to go buy one. My computer seems to be running ok now and it is several years old so I'm not sure if it's worth the investment?
I would like to put a dvd burner in it so if you would still recommend the install I guess I can go buy it. What are your thoughts on a good dvd burner? Thanks, Rick
 
I've looked through your logs again and noticed you have a program called tuneup utilities installed. Try uninstalling that program and see if the speed returns. Usually those types of programs cause more harm then good. But I really suspect the damage has already happened and you will need to do a fresh install to get the speed back.

I always buy Liteon drives.

Ok, sounds good. Do you think that the harness for a new burner will be in my pc? I think I can do it myself if the cables are there. I might have to get new harnesses for adding the new burner?
 
Is there space for another drive in your tower? If there is a space then there usually is a cage to attach another drive. What brand and model of computer is this?
