Please help me in getting my pc work faster again.Thanks

Why do you suspect a rootkit? Have you done any scans which say this or give indications of this?
Do the following:
Please Download ATF-Cleaner.exe by Atribune(Windows XP, 2K, 2003 & Vista ONLY)
• You can put ATF-Cleaner on your Desktop for easy access
RUN ATF-Cleaner.exe.

-- Click on ATF-Cleaner to run it
-- Where it says Select Files To Delete, Check the Select All Option
-- Click Empty Selected > OK

If you use Firefox browser, do this also:

* Click Firefox at the top and choose Select All from the list.
* Click the Empty Selected button.
* NOTE : If you would like to keep your saved passwords, click No at the prompt.

If you use Opera browser, do this also:

* Click Opera at the top and choose Select All from the list.
* Click the Empty Selected button.
* NOTE : If you would like to keep your saved passwords, click No at the prompt.
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBA-M) to your Desktop.

* DoubleClick mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install MBA-M.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.

Reboot the computer.

Please Run the ESET Online Scanner and attach the ScanLog with your post for assistance.

* You will need to use Internet Explorer to to complete this scan.
* You will need to temporarily Disable your current Anti-virus program.

* Be sure the option to Remove found threats is checked and the option to Scan unwanted applications is Checked.
* When you have completed that scan, a scanlog ought to have been created and located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt. Please post that log for us as directed below.
Reboot the computer.
Run a NEW HJT scan, save the log and post back with the logs in this order, MBA-M log, ESET log, and finally the new HJT log. I'll take a look.

Dear Jholland,


While scanning through Avast Antivirus,I got message"suspicious files have been detected using heurustic method.This may besign of malwar infection.please allow files to be submitted to our virus lab for analysis.

e\windows\system32\mnmsrvc.exe

e\windows\system32\wuauserv.dll

e\program files\microsoft visual studio\common\tools\vs-ent98\vanalyser\varpc.exe

When I tried to delete them ,avast said virus is in operating memory

I restarted the pc and manually deleted the 3 infected files.

But still the pc is running very slow.I believe there is still hidden virus in my operating memory as windows xp starts very slow and hangs in between.please help

You know this thread is 19 days old. You have NOT submitted the logs from the steps I gave you, 19 days ago. The information just posted doesn't tell me WHEN this happened only that it DID happen. While the files found COULD be a sign of infection they also Could have been legitimate files because there ARE legitimate files which have the same name. Just deleting them without knowing for sure could have caused damage to the computer, rather than delete them you should have submitted them. But I have know idea WHEN this happened...21 or more days ago, this morning, last night? I have no idea.
Have you done ANY of the steps I requested? We request these for a very good reason, to help us help you AND to clean the computer.
I can not offer any advice because I have nothing new to look at except a HiJackThis log which now is 21 days old and was 2 days old when you submitted it here.
The slowness of the computer cannot be too much of a problem since you failed to return and failed to do the steps given to you 19 days ago.

Edit: Looking back through 7 threads you have begun in the last 2 years this seems to be very common for you, post a question and NEVER return. If you want problems solved then you MUST stick with it. Nothing can be done otherwise.
