Nothing shows in your HJT log, but we'll check further. Also, do you clean out the temp files and folders regularly and defrag your hard drive?


Please download SilentRunners from here:
http://www.silentrunners.org/Silent%20Runners.zip

Unzip it to the desktop and double-click on it.
Silent Runners will ask if you want to skip the supplementary search.
Please select 'No' to include them.
The program will take longer to run, but will give us more information.

If you get any kind of warning message about scripts, please choose to allow the script to run.

When the scan is finished, a message will pop up and a logfile will have been created on the desktop.
The logfile is named 'Startup Programs' by default and will be located where the program is.

Please post the entire contents of this logfile for me to see.

Still nothing showing. Let's check for a rootkit, although I believe it will be negative.

Post #1

Please download F-Secure Blacklight (blbeta.exe) and save to your C:\ drive.
1. Open a command window by going to Start > Run and typing: cmd
2. Copy/paste or type the following in the command window:

C:\blbeta.exe /expert

3. Hit "Enter" to start the program and then close the cmd box.
4. Accept the user agreement and click "Next".
5 Click "Scan".
6. After the scan is complete, click "Next", then "Exit". BlackLight will create a log in C:\ drive named "fsbl-xxxxxxx.log" (the xxxxxxx will be the date and time of the scan).
7. The log will have a list of all items found. Do not choose to rename any yet! I want to see the log first because legitimate items can also be present...like "wbemtest.exe".
8. Exit Blacklight and post the contents of the log in your next reply.

Note: If you download Blacklight to your desktop, just double-click to run from there and it will create the "fsbl-xxxxxxx.log" on your desktop.

Still negative. Often slowdows can from excess in the temp files and folders, plus a severely fragmented disk. So lets tackle those issues and see what improvement is made. Also, do this slowdown occur at startup and periodically throughout the day, or is it constant?


First:
Download CCleaner from the link at the upper right of this page: http://www.ccleaner.com. If you don't want the Yahoo toolbar, be sure to UNcheck that option when installing the software or update.

Instructions for using CCleaner:

1. Launch CCleaner and under Options > Advanced > UNcheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours".
2. A pop up box will appear advising this process will permanently delete files from your system.
3. To protect logon cookies that you wish to retain, under Options > Cookies. Select and using the arrow move those cookies to the "Cookies to keep" column.
4. Then select the items you wish to clean up. (For options not listed, choose as you see fit)
1. In the Windows Tab:
* Clean all entries in the "Internet Explorer" section.
* Clean all the entries in the "Windows Explorer" section.
* Clean all entries in the "System" section.
* Clean all entries in the "Advanced" section.
* Clean any others that you choose.
2. In the Applications Tab:
* Clean all in the Firefox/Mozilla section if you use it.
* Clean all in the Opera section if you use it.
* Clean Sun Java in the Internet Section.
* Please UNcheck "Utilities" (i.e., Ad-Aware, ewido and other security program logs.)

5. Click the "Run Cleaner" button and it will scan and clean your system.
6. Click exit.
7. Shutdown/restart the computer.

Second:
From the Desktop...

Start -> All Programs -> Accessorites -> System Tools -> Disk Defragmenter
