766401	2009-04-19 21:09:00	There doesn't look like anything in that log thats related to infections, but the log is a little short - is that it complete? There are 1 or two items you can remove from startup. When you say the PC is slow, its got XP SP3, but what are the remainder of the system Spec's. CPU, RAM ? If the PC itself is older, sometimes you can do a complete reinstall from fresh, and remove all the built up windows " bloat" that accumulates over time.	wainuitech (129)

Computer was given to me in a sad state - had an AV program called FSecure on there, I got rid of that and it seems to move a it faster since but not much... I have ran Avast and Malwarebytes and both came up clean.	mwcubsnut (14829)
766403	2009-04-19 22:14:00	Hmmmm- theres your problem, the PC is VERRRRRRY VERY low on system spec's.	wainuitech (129)
766404	2009-04-19 22:17:00	WOW - been a while since I've come across a K6! Might be time to upgrade mwcubsnut, there's not a lot that can be done for that PC. :)	wratterus (105)
766405	2009-04-19 22:21:00	Prolly why it was given to me!! Thanks for the help!	mwcubsnut (14829)
766406	2009-04-19 22:23:00	You can tick this: O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ctfmon.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe But it won't be much help in speeding things up. With that hardware, I'm suprised its even running:p You could maybe add in another 512mb of RAM and that *might* speed things up a bit but the CPU is probably slowing down the whole computer at such a slow clock speed:( On the brighter side of things that hardware would be perfect for converting to a home server:D Blam	Blam (54)
766407	2009-04-19 22:42:00	AMD-K6(tm)-||| Processor 549 MHz, 252 MB of RAM k6-2 or k6-3? your pc is really only good for win9x or possibly w2k. XP will certainly make it crawl. what graphics card does it have?	tweak'e (69)
