The problem is that my IE has been very slow and even crashing the comp
I've been using SpyBot for a while, but it can't delete some stuff in a file called CommonNames. I know nothing about the file, but I'm guessing it's the source of the problem. Is this a known problem? Should I just delete the file myself?

Have you updated your spybot recently?

If not update it and try again.

If that doesn't work then can you post a bit more info about the file such as the extension (.doc, .txt, .php, etc) and the size as well as where abouts in your system it is.

Have you also cleared out cookies and temporary internet files recently?

If not then this would also be a good idea. The temp internet files quickly mount up and make a big impact on your speed.

This showed up after a recent SpyBot update. I've cleared all the temps and cookies while on selective start up. Inside CommonNames is a second file called AddressBar. In that are 8 DAT files, cnbabe.dll, and two applications, comwiz and winnet.

Hi scyth02

Do this and we'll get rid of it :-

Download hijackthis from

http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

After the scan has finished the "scan" button will turn into a "save log" button

save the log file and paste it here

Do not delete anything yet, as most things hijackthis finds are harmless and needed.

OK, but the file created by HijackThis can't be attached to the post and has no text for Copy/Paste. What should I do with it?

RE : HJT log file...

After the scan has finished the "scan" button will turn into a "save log" button

Click the "save log" button.....this will open the log in notepad....save it to the desktop.

Go to the file and open it....

Click .....edit....select all.....edit again ...copy

Open a new post here...right click...paste.

OK, for whatever reason my PC tried to open it with IE, so I just went into Notepad and opened it from there. Here it is:

Thanks for all your help! One last Q. Is the file SYSTEM32 in the WINDOWS file any concern?

You're welcome

If you mean the.....

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 .... Folder

Yes that is a legitimate folder....leave it alone.

Hey...this is also easy for some of the stuff you have:

uninstall via Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. mybar.dll show up as "My Way Speed Bar" and mwssrcas.dll will show up as "My Search Bar" or "My Web Search"

I have the same problem with CommonName (and probably others I don't even know about) and I have tried to get rid of it but it won't go! Can you help me get rid of it PLEASE!!! Here is the Hijackthis info:

HI

First move your Hijackthis.exe file to a permanent folder....you will then have backups if you need to replace anything.

Then please copy and send this file to me for analysis :-

This looks like the symptom of a virus.....

Then....

Close all browser windows - run hijackthis and tick to fix :-
