Re: pc slowing down

Welcome to DAL,

Look in add/remove program and remove if present:

mywebsearch
starware


Reboot if anything removed.


This line below is in hijackthis log, are you familiar with it?:

O11 - Options group: [INTERNATIONAL] International*


Download Clean.bat to your desktop(Save page as or Save as): for later use to clean out your TEMPORARY and PREFETCH files.
http://www.thatcomputerguy.us/downloads/clean.bat



Run hijackthis and click on scan button and put checks next to these:


R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://as.starware.com/dp/search?x=...h7GA0bBhuzcU68=
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page =

O16 - DPF: {BDEE1959-AB6B-4745-A29B-F492861102CC} -



Nothing open but hijackthis and click fix checked.


Now run that clean batch file you created earlier, type in 'Y' a couple of times and press enter at the prompts.


Reboot normal mode and...



ATF Cleaner by Atribune

Here is another little Temp File Cleaner that currently only works on Windows Xp and 2000 systems. It does not require any installation and uses but minimal system resources. It is set up to clean IE, FireFox and Opera. It reads the browsers you have and greyes out the other(s). It is, in my opinion, the safest one around.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

Click the Empty Selected button.
