Alright,

a few things that can be fixed.

===========================
First of all, we need to update the java.

1. - Pls go into control panel > add / remove programs, and remove everything involving Java.
2. - Then go to www.java.com and download and install the latest java
3. - Reboot the computer

===============

<snip></snip>

Third,

Run hijackthis and mark a check next to the following:

Then fix it, rescan and post the log.

Thanks,

Cohen

I have removed cohens instructions for running combofix until we find out how your pc is.
Combofix should only be run when necessary, so please let us know how things are and we can decide then which way to go.

When was the last time you defragmented your hard drive and emptied all your temp folders?

====

Can you please do the following.

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:


O2 - BHO: (no name) - {243B17DE-77C7-46BF-B94B-0B5F309A0E64} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)(no file)

O16 - DPF: {F54C1137-5E34-4B95-95A5-BA56D4D8D743} -


Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

To help protect your system from hostile ActiveX content, or special 'downloadable' files:

Download, install and keep updated, SpywareBlaster. If you've installed it for the first time:

1) Check for any available updates; if present, they'll be automatically downloaded and installed.
2) Next, "Enable all protection".
3) Exit the program.

-

Note: Remember to regularly check for updates.

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

Thanks Crunchie and Cohen,

It seems the pc is a little faster, but rebooting still takes a long time. I had the disc defraged about a month ago. I have also update Java.

Log Looks clean, to me.

As for rebooting, that's no because of the OS. My brother had an old IDE hard drive, in his nice PC.. and that had the OS on it.. then he got a big 320GB sata hard drive, and now it is really fast rebooting and booting up.

So it could be your hard drive, but it's nothing to worry about.

Cohen

Thanks Cohen and Crunchie for your help.

My HD is a IDE as my pc is an old one. I remembered it used to be booting up faster. I will try defrag to see if it help.

Thanks again.
