747064 2009-02-12 02:10:00 Hi, I posted about this in the thread about my computer being slow to start after installing an external hard drive and blam6 told me to post a hijack this log - I have, but have had no responses to that thread so thought I'd put in in a dedicated one in the hope someone can help me.

Gee thanks! Now can you tell me how to NOT have crap running in the background because I am sure I'm not doing it on purpose!
Beemer (6956)
747067 2009-02-12 02:59:00 Pardon the unfriendly reception that you have got there, Beemer

I would turn off the following services:

O4 - Startup: Adobe Gamma.lnk = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Calibration\Adobe Gamma Loader.exe

O23 - Service: Adobe LM Service - Adobe Systems - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe Systems Shared\Service\Adobelmsvc.exe

Wait for Speedy to pick out more unnecessary entries.

Windows Defender has a poor malware detection rate. Personally, I won't use it in the first place.

Do you have any form of Firewall running?

Cheers :)

He's usually very helpful so must be sick of novices like me today!

Thanks, will get rid of those bits, but I'm pretty sure they are the same bits I got rid of last time I asked for help - do they sneak back in without an invitation?

I only have the Windows Defender as I have had trouble with other firewalls I've tried and someone told me that was fine. All suggestions welcomed!
Beemer (6956)
747069 2009-02-12 03:08:00 Speedy is currently busy with other technology queries, that's all. Don't assume the worst of yourself, Beemer :)

Windows Defender is only half-capable of detecting and removing malware; it has nothing to do with firewall. If you have got a router, then to some extent it is fine not to have a software firewall installed.

Have you tried Comodo Firewall? It is free and very popular with forum users here.

Cheers :)

747070 2009-02-12 03:14:00 I'm pretty sure Comodo was one I downloaded but then had trouble with - I'll see if I can find the thread I started about it. Can't remember what the problem was now but I'm pretty sure there was one - probably operator error rather than software though! Beemer (6956)
747071 2009-02-12 03:22:00 Just did a search but must have been dreaming - couldn't find anything I'd posted in, so please tell me more about Comodo and what I need to do to protect my computer. I do have a wireless router installed. Beemer (6956)
747072 2009-02-12 03:41:00 http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/ - Here's the link to Comodo Firewall.

What can I tell you? In short, it is free and good. :thumbs:

Cheers :)
Renmoo (66)
747073 2009-02-12 03:48:00 Ta! Will that replace Avast or can I use both side by side - I see Comodo has antivirus protection as well. Doh, just saw I had the opportunity to install one or both! Beemer (6956)
