Hello MikePB3,

Welcome to Tech-Forums,

Your log does not look that bad at all. The LimeWire concerns me a little. Please follow the provided instructions, is your system slow or your internet connection slow.

I have outlined some preliminary steps that we need to address. [b]You may want to print out these intructions for reference.[/b] This process will take a few steps so please be patient and follow the provided directions.


[b]1.[/b] First Download [URL=http://cwshredder.net/bin/CWShredder.exe][color=blue]CWShredder[/color][/URL]
And save it to your desktop.
Close all open browser windows and any other open windows.

Install CWShredder, then:

Open CWS and click [b]Check for Updates[/b]
Then click [b]"FIX"[/b]

I suggest doing an online scan just as a secondary check.

[b]2.[/b] Please run this online scan, allow it to delete anything it finds:
You may have to select auto-fix prior to scanning, it should be a selection on the screen.[LIST][URL=http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm][color=blue]Panda ActiveScan[/color][/URL]
[/LIST]Please make a note of anything that wasn't or couldn't be fixed.
Reboot your machine when finished.

[b]3.[/b] You may have run these programs already, make sure they are up to date and run per provided instructions.
Current Versions are:
[b]Spybot S&D Ver: 1.3[/b] [URL=http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html][color=blue]Download Here[/color][/URL]
[b]Ad-Aware SE Build 1.05[/b] [URL=http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html][color=blue]Download Here[/color][/URL]

Download and install both Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware SE.

Instructions:

[b]Spybot S&D:[/b]
Go to your Start Menu >> Programs >> Spybot S&D >> then choose Spybot S&D.

[b]*[/b]Close [b]ALL [/b]windows except Spybot S&D
[b]*[/b]Click the button to [b]"Search for Updates"[/b] and download and install the Updates.
[b]*[/b]Close Spybot then launch it again
[b]*[/b]Click the button [b]"Check for Problems" [/b]
[b]*[/b]When Spybot is done scanning, it will be showing "RED" (RED) entries, "BLACK" entries and "GREEN" (GREEN) entries in the window
[b]*[/b]Put a check mark beside the RED [color=red](RED) entries ONLY.[/color]
[b]*[/b]Choose "Fix Selected Problems" and allow Spybot to fix the RED [color=red](RED)[/color] entries.


[b]Ad-Aware SE FULL SCAN:[/b]
Go to your Start Menu >> Programs >> Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE >> then choose Ad-Aware SE Personal.

When the main window opens look in the bottom right corner and click on [b]Check For Updates Now[/b] then click Connect and download the latest reference files.

From main window:
[b]*[/b]Click Start then under Select a scan Mode check [b]Perform Full System Scan.[/b]
[b]*[/b]Next [color=red]deselect [/color]Search for negligible risk entries.
[b]*[/b]To scan just click the [b]Next[/b] button.

When the scan has finished [b]mark everything for removal [/b]and get rid of it.
[i](Right-click the window and choose [b]select all[/b] from the drop down menu and click Next)[/i]
The program will ask if you want to fix/delete selected items, choose yes/fix.

Empty Your Recycle Bin.

Reboot your machine and post a new HJT log, by clicking [b]"Post a Reply"[/b]

Thanks,
rstones12
