PC running slow

This is my first time posting to this site. I have noticed of late my PC running slower than usual. This trend is most notable when I run uTorrent or Limewire but this is most likely due to my ISP speed (or lack thereof). Following is my HijackThis log and uninstall list for your consideration. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Re: PC running slow

What is your CPU? How much RAM memory are you running? How much free space on your hard drives? What is your representative stable 'commit charge' in the 'task manager' (Ctrl+Alt+Delete KEYS)? How many processes are running?


You appear to be using indexing in NERO - that could be a new or heavy burden on your PC? Is this a recent change?:

E.G.: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nero\Lib\NMIndexStoreSvr.exe

Your system has outdated version(s) of Sun Java that could create serious security exposure issues for your PC.

Update your Java.


Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6.0 Update 7 or higher, and install it to your computer.


Older JAVA versions have vulnerabilities that malware can and are using to infect systems.

Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components.
  • Close any programs you may have running, ESPECIALLY your web browser
  • Click Start > Control Panel.
  • Click Add/Remove Programs.
  • Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in the name.
  • Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  • Repeat as many times as necessary to remove all versions of Java.
  • Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.




New Version should show as (HijackThis log):

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\… or higher




Post a revised HijackThis LOG, please.

Re: PC running slow

Computer is a eMachine T3410, AMD Sempron 3400+ 2.01 GHz, 1GB of RAM. First HDD (C) is 144 GB with 2.9 GB free. Second HDD (F) is 37.2 GB with 16.5 GB free. Commit charge is 344M/1396M.
I did just recently install Nero 8.

Thank you!

Re: PC running slow

SELECT HijackThis FIX ITEMS: Scan with HijackThis and place a check next to these items:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {88231A26-4951-4AD6-B948-5B40E9864A77} - (no file)

O20 - Winlogon Notify: ljJYOgdC - ljJYOgdC.dll (file missing)

Make sure that all browser windows and internet links are closed, even this one!
CLICK ’FIX CHECKED’ with HijackThis.

First HDD (C) is 144 GB with 2.9 GB free.
A healthy system should have a minimum 15% free space on the boot drive (certainly 10-15GB - ideally 25%). It is surprising that SP3 even installed properly. Plus, low free space creates fragmentation at a very unacceptable rate of occurrence. Nero indexing is certainly not helping.


You need to convert your boot drive to a larger one or offload some of its contents to another preferably internal drive. I am guessing that drive F: is a external USB drive (often 1/6 the speed of an internal drive).


Several things to investigate and consider:
  • Adjust the space allocated for temporary Internet pages (to 80MB or less):
    1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
    2. On the General tab, under Browsing history, click Settings.
    3. In the Disk space to use text box, type the amount of disk space (in megabytes) that you want to be set aside for temporary storage space, and then click OK twice.

  • Clean out TEMPORARY FILES procedures:
    To clean your temp folder, recycle bin, etc..please download this free tool:

    CCleaner CCleaner - Download

    Install Options:
    • Don't install any Toolbars, or other programs, should it ask you!
    • Just uncheck the option of installing the Yahoo toolbar.

    It will put a shortcut on your Desktop.

    Do not run CCleaner until requested later.




    Run CCleaner preferably in SAFE MODE (reboot tapping the F8 key after the beep).

    Select the ‘Options’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), ‘Advanced’ BUTTON, and then UNCHECK the ‘Only delete files in Windows Temp Folders older than 48 hours’ (often, the latest download traffic could be the bearer of bad content – RESET back to default after this particular cleaning).

    Select the ‘Cleaner’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), if not already selected. Use the ’Windows’ TAB up front by default.
    • Uncheck ‘Cookies’ option (advisable)
    • Optionally, Uncheck ‘Recently Typed URLs’ option (potentially still useful)
    • Click the ‘Analyse’ button.
    • Thereafter, click ‘Run Cleaner’ after you have reviewed what it proposes to clean.




  • 'System Restore' by default uses 12% of C: drive (3 months of restore points). You could easily reduce that to 4-6%.


    Windows XP System Restore FAQ
    Quote:
    If you would like to make System Restore use less disk space, here's how:

    1. Go to Start>> Control Panel
    2. Double click the System icon
    3. Click the System Restore tab
    4. If you have a single partition, click the Settings button and reduce the disk space allocation by sliding the bar to the left. If you have multiple partitions, select the partition and then click the Settings button. Again, sliding the bar to the left reduces the disk allocation.
    5. When finished, click OK
  • If you must use an external drive, look into eSATA (external SATA has the same speeds as internal drives). This would entail getting an external enclosure that supports eSATA and adding an eSATA card to your PC, if possible.

Re: PC running slow

Thank you for the help! I really should've checked my HDD before myself...I don't know why I didn't think of it.

I removed the two items you mentioned with HijackThis.
I freed up some space on my HDD. I now have 45GB free on C (by the way, my F drive is an internal HDD...just a rather small one out of a previous PC.)
I turned off Nero Indexing Service.
I adjusted the space allocated for temporary internet pages to 50MB.
I ran CCleaner (I was using it already as it was.)
I have System Restore turned off.

I do appreciate the help. Thank you very much!

I wouldn't want to run without, a least, several weeks of restore points available, as a potential safety net.


You might want to now run a defragmentation of the cleaned up c: drive:
