1238281 2011-10-18 11:41:00 HI everyone, my ASUS laptop is still creaking along - just kidding, it was working just fine until tonight, and for some reason it's started playing up. What's concerned me is that it is slow on banking sites, and a number of .com websites (facebook etc) cannot be accessed, in particular computer/download websites, like ccleaner, Avast, filehippo etc. A few forums too, but it's the computer ones that concern me. Seems to be the same on Firefox, Chrome and IE. I've made a HJT log, can y'all please have a look, and let me know if anything is wrong/dodgy? Thanks in advance for your help!

These should be safe to delete. But DON'T delete them until user "Speedy Gonzales" comes along and checks the log, as he is the Pro at this type of thing.

1238283 2011-10-24 05:55:00 Bumpage - any help here would be appreciated. :)

Thanks Goodiesguy - The Nokia stuff relates to my phone, does fixing them mean that the program wouldn't show up on start up, or would it prevent my phone from connecting to the PC?
Sick Puppy (6959)
1238284 2011-10-24 06:28:00 you might want to be careful in regards to this:
"
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe

"
I'm pretty sure that needs to be running or else you won't be able to sync your ipod/iphone. Check with speedy.

1238285 2011-10-24 06:57:00 yeah, i'd wait for speedy's input on this GameJunkie (72)

1238287 2011-10-24 07:58:00 These should be safe to delete . But DON'T delete them until user "Speedy Gonzales" comes along and checks the log, as he is the Pro at this type of thing . Holy crap, :groan:dont go posting telling people to remove things if you have no idea what they are -- saying "should be Ok " is not an option, about the only thing that is right is wait for better advise .

If you remove a lot of those entries you will cause all sorts of problems and you certainly wont gain any access to sites .

The HJT log is not to bad, theres no infections or nasties showing .

this can go -its a dead entry:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)


I'd be dumping Avast, its gone hopeless these days and is slowly becoming a system hog, missing to many infections as well as causing a lot of problems . ( had to remove 3 from peoples computers over the last two weeks, because it was corrupting the OS's and missing lots of infections)

re the Internet -- If its only today , I wouldn't worry about it to much -- over the last week the overseas sites have been up and down faster than a Yo-Yo :D

Just last week, Nod32 was blocking Piriform ( ccleaners home site) as being an attack site, as well as several other well trusted sites, I suspect something went ga-ga for some reason .

Try checking, or resetting your host file, make sure nothing is being blocked . One way ( . microsoft . com/kb/972034" target="_blank">support . microsoft . com) or a slightly better option and check --- download Trojan Remover ( . simplysup . com/tremover/download . html" target="_blank">www . simplysup . com) Run it first to do a scan, then under Utilities, theres a few options as well as reset host file .

Also , un-install Spyware guard - its about as good as windows defender -- in other words more trouble than its worth;)

1238288 2011-10-24 09:15:00 I moved so the BB was disconnected (from 16/10 till tonight 24/10) / xferred / moved to my new address. I'm now in the middle of Otahuhu and Manukau. Which is why I havent been online

I would get rid of Spyware Guard

Is windows up to date?
Speedy Gonzales (78)
1238289 2011-10-24 11:26:00 Thanks guys - will go through all these tomorrow evening and get it sorted!

Windows - no, not even close to being up to date I think - if I cannot remember when I did it, I consider it out of date, and it's been quite a while!

Spyware Guard - will get rid of, but what changed, I thought this was recommended? But then I think that was when I bought this laptop! lol

Any recommendations re: replacements for Avast!? Anything but AVG, I've always found it to be a dog... but then it could be it's master! :D

Internet access seems to have sorted itself, I cleared FF's history, which I don't usually do with CCleaner, and it seemed to help. Being unable ot access Piriform was one of the issues I had, and between that and my wife having access issues, I was wondering if something was wrong with Us, the router, or just the net...

Speedy & Wainui, thank you!
