Could you try downloading Combofix again? (Remember to turn off your anti-virus while downloading or running Combofix). This time rename it to george.exe and see if it will run.

Otherwise it seems to be free of malware tho it did have some hard drive problems which appear to have been corrected by the diskcheck. Have you tried changing your email password(s). How do you connect to the Internet? If wireless do you have the link encrypted with something besides WEP? Does the router have a password other than the default?

If it is still running slow:

Get Process Explorer

http://live.sysinter...com/procexp.exe

Save it to your desktop then run it (Vista or Win7 - right click and Run As Administrator). Click once or twice on the CPU column header to sort things by CPU usage with the big hitters at the top. File, Save As, Save. Open the file Procexp.txt on your desktop and copy and paste the text to a reply.

Get the free version of Speccy:

http://www.filehippo...download_speccy (Look in the upper right for the Download
Latest Version button) Download, Save and Install it. Run Speccy. When it finishes (the little icon in the bottom left will stop moving), File, Save as Text File, (to your desktop) note the name it gives. OK. Open the file in notepad and delete the line that gives the serial number of your Operating System. (It will be near the top about 10 lines down.) Attach the file to your next post.

Hi Ron

here is the notebook entry from Combofix (aka George). There are several references to AVG in the response. Not sure if this means that temporary disable was not fully active

Hi Ron

following up on your other points

Have you tried changing your email password(s). YES. Passwords changed

How do you connect to the Internet? If wireless do you have the link encrypted with something besides WEP? Not sure how to check this so suspect not


Does the router have a password other than the default? Not sure how to check this so suspect not

If it is still running slow: Speed seems back to normal

Thanks for all your support. It has been brilliant. Is there a way I can buy you a drink ?

Cheers ..... Steve

Your router is probably at 192.168.1.254 so if you point your browser to it then you talk to it and see how it is setup. Your best bet is to go to the router maker's website and read up on it. At least change the password on the router. If you don't know the default password then try:
http://www.routerpasswords.com/
or
http://www.phenoelit...rg/dpl/dpl.html

It's very easy to use someone's router if they do not use encryption on the link (and even if they do it's not that hard to break into a WEP encrypted link. (One of the links in my goodbye post it to a newspaper article about people hacking into wep encrypted business networks from a car outside the business. I have a friend in Manilla and he tells me that when you buy a PC there they give you a program for cracking your neighbor's WEP so you don't have to pay for service.)

I think I would uninstall your SLOW-PCfighter64. It's nothing but a registry cleaner which we don't think much of. Registry cleaners cause more trouble than they fix. Make sure that the two tasks associated with it are cancelled by the uninstall:

2011-12-01 c:\windows\Tasks\SLOW-PCfighter64-Steve-Notification.job
- c:\program files\Fighters\SLOW-PCfighter\Sync.exe [2011-10-17 09:58]
.
2011-12-01 c:\windows\Tasks\SLOW-PCfighter64-Steve-Startup.job
- c:\program files\Fighters\SLOW-PCfighter\SLOW-PCfighter64.exe [2011-10-17 09:58]

Instead or buying me a drink, please donate the cost of the drink to Kwiaht:

http://www.kwiaht.org/donate.htm

It's a local environmental group that I do a lot of volunteer work with.

Thanks,

Ron

Thanks.

You have some toolbars and add-ons that are probably not necessary:

plugin-container.exe 11000 2.94 134,192 K 144,952 K Plugin Container for Firefox Mozilla Corporation (used to run toolbars and Add-ons in Firefox)
mswinext.exe 4420 0.82 44,684 K 67,876 K MSN® Toolbar Microsoft Corp.

Don't think you really need the MSN toolbar. I'd uninstall it unless you really love it. Otherwise looks pretty good.
