edited October 2005 in Spyware & Virus Removal
I have an emachines T2862 that I purchased used just recently. (yes, I know, emachines, arggghhhh. lol) But the truth is I got it very cheap from a friend and since my dell crashed, I had to have this one until I can get my dell fixed. The comp had several adware and malware on it from the previous owner and a few viruses. I ran ad aware, spybot, and even MS antispyware. As well as an anti virus program. I think that I have gotten all of the worms and adware out of it. The problem I am having is that when I reboot, It takes forever for the Windows xp screen to load. I have been told this could be due to some adware and worms. I ran Hijack this and the following is the logfile if it helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.................

    Hello,

    It appears there are a few things remaining from a removed worm or adware. Fix the following in HJT..

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings,ProxyOverride = localhost
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C8B2A36-3DB1-42A4-A3CB-D426709BBFEB} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {4982D40A-C53B-4615-B15B-B5B5E98D167C} - (no file)
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {42CDD1BF-3FFB-4238-8AD1-7859DF00B1D6} - (no file)

    Also, please post the contents of your C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file, so that we can ensure there were no bogus host file entries added.

    Secondly, to speed up your bootup process, it is safe to fix the following items in HJT as well.. (not required to start on bootup)

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RCScheduleCheck] C:\Program Files\VCOM\Recovery Commander\RCSCHED.EXE -CHECK
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Fix-It AV] C:\PROGRA~1\VCOM\SYSTEM~1\MemCheck.exe
    O4 - Global Startup: Logitech Desktop Messenger.lnk = C:\Program Files\Logitech\Desktop Messenger\8876480\Program\LDMConf.exe

    Once you remove those items, please restart your computer, and post an updated HJT log..

    Best Regards,
    Mike

    Thank you Lemon Lime for your reply. A little bit of a funny, my comp went bye bye after posting the previous post. I guess it was from fiddling with it, lol. Anyways, I ordered the rescue disk from emachines and all is well now in the land of the e. The comp boots up great and is pretty fast........well for a 2.6 celeron D. Here is the latest HJT log. It still seems long, lol.

    Hello again,

    Sorry to hear that your PC bit the dust, but considering all of the issues present before you even got the PC, a full re-image was probably the best solution. At least you get to start fresh now :)

    The log file looks clean btw :thumbsup:

    Please let us know if you have any other issues.
