Solve : Help please XP! Analyst of Hijackthis?

Answer»

Hello everyone! If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it.

Problem: Computer has slowed tremediously.

Solutions i've tried: Avg-Antispyware, Avg-Antivirus, Ad-Adware SE Personal, Trojan Hunter, Spybot Search and Destroy, V-cleaner, Find Junk Files software. As far as the system itself i've defrag, disk-cleanup, delete cookies, delete history, delete temporary files under internet options.

The harddrive is fine and I'm seriously at a loss. I downloaded hijackthis but I don't know what to delete if anyone could tell me possibly what to delete i'd appreciate it.

Specs of Computer

Dell Pentium 4
Windows XP Home Edition
256 Ram
1.79 GHz

Just from a quick glance of what you posted, I can see that you have at least the Trojan.ISTsvc and Troj/VB-CXT trojans (probably more). So, while you wait for the experts to come along, I WOULD advise updating your protection.It also looks like you need to update your Java (I actually need to get the latest update now that I think about it). And I'm wondering...why don't you have the Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed? Both of these things can help with your protection.O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [msnmsgr] "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /background

....I'm wondering...why don't you have the Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed? Both of these things can help with your protection.
Well spotted, CBMatt, BUT there is one big problem.

NEVER install SP2 on a machine which is, or may be, infected with malware. It will heap trouble on trouble.

First, evonna_21, you MUST install SP1a. Get it here ....

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp1/default.mspx


THEN rescan with HJT and post a fresh log for review.


OJThanks for everyone's advice
I installed service pack 1 computer went dead. uninstalled computer still slow.Do you still have your Dell WIndows CD?Hey, Im pretty new at this too as you can probably tell but, maybe your over thinking the problem. It could be fairly simple. I dont know if this will help you at all but anytime my laptop starts to slow down, I look at my desktop. I always make sure its fairly clean. I only have a few things on my desktop. So why dontyou try getting rid of some of the stuff on there and see if that helps.

Hope this helps,
-Melissa-evonna_21 .... I don't know what has been going wrong for you. SP1 and SP1a wouldn't cause this problem on their own. I can only guess there is a bigger problem. If you CARRY on browsing the web on this computer without Service Packs your machine will be a magnet to malware. All sorts of nasties will get in.

Follow GX1_Man's advice. Do you have that disk?

If not ... please keep the computer OFFLINE, rescan with HJT and post a fresh log (using a different computer, obviously). I'll see what can be done to try and fix the computer without Service Packs.


OJ
