760330	2009-03-28 22:00:00	Hi all, My system seems a bit slower than it used to be...I've done a few updates recently, i.e. updated Firefox, upgraded to IE8, plus all the Windows updates but this shouldn't be slowing it down? I've done a full virus check and scanned for Malware, all clean.... Could someone please look over this Hijack This log and see if I'm missing anything? Thanks! PS - Later this year I will get a new system, i'm doing a bit of travel for work now so I'll wait till that finishes before getting the new system. So, just trying to make to in the meantime with this system... It's an Athlon 1400, 512MB RAM, Win XPSP3, ASUSA7V266 M/Board Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 10:52:49 a.m., on 29/03/2009 Platform: Windows XP SP3 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v8.00 (8.00.6001.18702) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\COMODO\COMODO Internet Security\cmdagent.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\Program Files\Avira\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\avguard.exe C:\Program Files\Avira\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\avgnt.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\hpztsb0 4.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\CTHELPER.EXE C:\Program Files\COMODO\COMODO Internet Security\cfp.exe C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\GoogleToolbarNo tifier.exe C:\Program Files\Siber Systems\AI RoboForm\RoboTaskBarIcon.exe C:\WINDOWS\twain_32\C6U14K\WATCH.exe C:\Program Files\Avira\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\sched.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\CTsvcCDA.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\Fast.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jqs.exe C:\Program Files\CDBurnerXP\NMSAccessU.exe C:\Program Files\Maxtor\OneTouch\Utils\SyncServices.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvsvc32.exe C:\Program Files\Retrospect\Retrospect Express HD 1.1\retrorun.exe C:\Program Files\Spyware Terminator\sp_rsser.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\MsPMSPSv.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\SearchIndexer.exe C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe C:\Program Files\Hijack this\HijackThis.exe R0 -

You have so much unnecessary stuff running . DO you really need all thses little "helpers"? Creative installs loads of crap too . And I'd ditch HP driver installer stuff, drivers should come from the hardware manufacturers site, manually . Why have both IE and Firefox? I'm not surprised its slower, yes, all those changes can slow it down . . . . . . . .	pctek (84)
760332	2009-03-29 04:53:00	Why have both IE and Firefox? I'm not surprised its slower, yes, all those changes can slow it down . . . . . . . . I use Firefox as my main browser, but don't I have to have IE installed to get Microsoft Updates via their website? I read that IE8 had better performance than IE7, that's why I updated it . Probably a lot of crap has accumulated over the years too . Maybe I should do a format and fresh install . . . I've been trying to avoid the hassle of doing that as i'll get a new system later this year . So PCTek, are you recommending that I disable/uninstall *all* those items you listed in the reply? Can I just select them via Hijack this, or is there a better way to fully remove them? They don't appear in the add/remove programs . Thanks	Chikara (5139)
760333	2009-03-29 05:23:00	I use Firefox as my main browser, but don't I have to have IE installed to get Microsoft Updates via their website? Nope, with FF and IE TAB, you can go to the WU site But you probably cant remove IE without screwing something up anyway	Speedy Gonzales (78)

So PCTek, are you recommending that I disable/uninstall *all* those items you listed in the reply? Can I just select them via Hijack this, or is there a better way to fully remove them? They don't appear in the add/remove programs. Thanks Yeah I would. But what you do is up to you. I hate crap running in the background. If I want to run something then I run it, not have it sitting there monitoring or whatever. Actually thats probably a real good idea. A fresh install does wonders for speed. So much bloat in the O/S accumulates, its a wonder it starts sometimes.	pctek (84)
760336	2009-04-13 13:03:00	Have you defragmented your hard drive? Yep I have, I use Defraggler. Yeah I would. But what you do is up to you. I hate crap running in the background. If I want to run something then I run it, not have it sitting there monitoring or whatever. Actually thats probably a real good idea. A fresh install does wonders for speed. So much bloat in the O/S accumulates, its a wonder it starts sometimes. OKay, thanks. I'd rather do that as a last resort only, to save having to reinstall so many things again, that takes forever. I'm planning on getting a new system soon anyway, so this was really a stop-gap measure until then. The only reason I'm not buying one now, is my job at the moment involves a lot of travel away from home, so sometimes I'm only home for 1 week every two months (i.e. at the moment I'm away until mid-June) So, I figured there would be no point buying a new system now that would be out of date before I've had a decent chance to do it. SO, I was just trying to coax a bit more speed in the meantime, for those few weeks every few months that I am at home to use it. Once the travel for work finishes and I'm back home properly for a good length of time, then I'll buy one. Thanks everyone for the suggestions!	Chikara (5139)
