Heya Malware Specialists. I have a pretty interesting task here.

One of my old 'experimental' laptops has been pretty much screwing around for the past few days. (keyboard not working, cd drive not coming out, slowness, not starting up, not booting into windows, ect...)
It's like it's on strike....
Strange thing is, I just hit the thing twice and the keyboard is working now...

Anyways, I would really appreciate it if you could have a look at my experimental Antivirusless computer. I got a Hijackthis log here:
(excuse the time and date....the laptop is pretty hold... )

Ha, I still use a win98 FAIRLY often. Thats ancient!!

Looks fine besides the few harmless fixes. You do have a Symantec service running. If you would like to get rid of it do this:

Start > Run > type:

sc stop SymWSC

Then click OK.

Next Start > Run > type:

sc delete SymWSC

Then click OK.

Open Hijackthis and select Do a system scan only.

Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)

O2 - BHO: Google Desktop Search Capture - {7c1ce531-09e9-4fc5-9803-1c2956615786} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {A7327C09-B521-4EDB-8509-7D2660C9EC98} - (no file)
O8 - Extra context menu item: &Viewpoint Search - res://C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Toolbar\ViewBar.dll/CXTSEARCH.HTML

Important: Close all windows except for Hijackthis and then click Fix checked.

Exit Hijackthis.Will do, Thanks EF!Yeah, thanks again. Now the PF Usage when the computer Starts Up is 77mb

That will go well with the (very) low amount of RAM it has.It was probably the Norton service running.Forgot to add to also delete the Symantec folder.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec SharedSure thing.
