Hi, I have noticed a decrease in speed when using my pc. I have read, googled, used Spybot, Ewido, Adaware, AVG and still no better. I read your advice about using HiJackThis and dowloaded it. Could you please look at my log and tell me what I need to get rid of and if it would be ok to put the rest on my ignore list.
Please use simple terms....I am a simple Nana :boh: ....Thanks in advance.

I want to check a file before we go any further. Then name is legitimate, but the location is suspect.

Please submit the following file(s) to Jotti.org for analysis: http://virusscan.jotti.org/

c:\windows\system\hpsysdrv.exe


Be sure to post the results in this thread.

The scan that you requested found nothing in all areas....What else do I need to do?
I appreciate any help you all can give me. Is there a program I could download that gets rid of left-behind files when I uninstall programs that I no longer want/need? It would have to be safe to do it because I don't know how to do alot when things go wrong with this machine.

Your log is clean wtih the exception of some cleanup.

First:
Once your system is clean, you need to update your JavaRuntime module(s) to the most current version [ JRE Version 5.0, Update 7]. You can download it directly from Sun at this link: http://www.java.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

Note: Be sure to remove all prior versions, using Add/Remove Programs, before you install the new one. Reboot after removal and prior to installation.


Second:
Download: Clear the Cache (freeware) http://www.ccleaner.com/ Once installed, run CCleaner click the Windows [tab] Select the following options: (not all are available for Win98/ME)
Next: click Options click Advanced
Uncheck: "Only delete files older than 48 hrs", click Ok Then click Run Cleaner (bottom right) then Exit

CCleaner should be run with the above settings for each user!


Last:
Check the following items in HijackThis.

Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked.

Reboot in normal mode

Run HiJackThis again and post a new log in this thread.
