    TRYING TO CLEAN UP HARD DRIVE
    « on: February 18, 2008, 01:12:05 PM »
     Hello All,

    I've just recovered from some serious malfunctions with my computer, thanks to the help I received from my resident expert on this site. 

    Today's issue is this.  I have been trying to clean up - uninstall and delete any and all programs and files that are:

    1.   Not currently in use,
    2.   Have never been used,
    3.   Don't and will never need,
    4.   Old and very out-dated,   and finally
    5.   Just plain old taking up space.

    I have been doing just fine, making sure I didn't delete anything with a microsoft link or tag on it, however, there is a file that opens up EVERY TIME I boot up my computer.

    I don't know it came from - I didn't install it- and when I looked it up on-line, it is a microsoft transferring file something or other, for vistas.

    I have windows xp sp2.

    The name of the file is MigWiz. It is on my C:\Program Files\Microsoft\MigWiz

    Does anyone know if I can safely delete it, if I should delete it, or just tell me how to keep it from popping up every time I turn on my computer?

    Also, everytime I try to click on C:, the search flashlight pops up 1st.  Can anyone tell me what that is about?

    Thanks, you guys always help me out!! ::)

    migwiz.exe is a part of M$ Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

    Post HJT log, and we'll see what calls for it.

      Nothing there....
      Next step...

      1. Create Autoruns folder in C:\Program Files\ directory.

      2. Download and extract the Autoruns (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/Autoruns.mspx) program to C:\Program Files\Autoruns folder

      3. Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Autoruns folder you created in Step 0 and double-click on autoruns.exe.

      4. When the program starts, click on the Options menu and enable the following options by clicking on them. This will place a checkmark next to each of these options.

               a. Include empty locations

               b. Verify Code Signatures


      5. Then press the F5 key on your keyboard to refresh the startups list using these new settings.

      6. The program shows information about your startup entries in 16 different tabs.
      For the most part, the filename you are looking for will be found under the Logon or the Services tabs, but you should check all the other tabs to make sure they are not loading elsewhere as well.
      Click on each tab and look through the list for the filename that you want to remove (you can use File>Find, or CTRL+F). The filename will be found under the Image Path column.
      There may be more than one entry associated with the same file.

      You are looking for following file(s): migwiz.exe

      Please, write down where the file is located

      7. Once you find the entry that is associated with the file, you want to delete that entry so it will not start again on the next reboot. To do that right click on the entry and select delete. This startup entry will now be removed from the Registry.

        Broni,

        Since you're my resident expert and a genious.  I know you will be able to figure this one out.

        Cannot find string "migwiz.exe" 

        I even tried to search for it on my computer.  here is what I got.

        1.  migwiz.exe.manifest

        2.  migwiz.exe.mui

        I just realized, you said in your initial post, something about this location:
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft\MigWiz
        Do you read the above location from error message, or...?
        Legit migwiz.exe file should be located in C:\Windows\System32\migwiz folder

          The location is c:\programfiles\microsoft\migwiz.

          I opened the the file, just to be sure.  There is no migwiz where you said it should be and the autorun log created in the actual file is this:

          [Autorun]
          OPEN=CDLaunch\shelexec \readmesp.htm

          [Autorun.x86]
          OPEN=CDLaunch\shelexec \readmesp.htm

          There is no error message, just the screen that opens up upon booting.  When I click to close it , it does.  I'm just tired of having to close it EVERY TIME  I turn on my computer .

          I want you to try couple of things, but one-by-one.
          Let's start with first move.
          Open HJT, and checkmark these:
          O4 - S-1-5-18 Startup: AutoPlay.exe (User 'SYSTEM')
          O4 - .DEFAULT Startup: AutoPlay.exe (User 'Default user')
          O4 - .DEFAULT User Startup: AutoPlay.exe (User 'Default user')
          Click "Fix checked".
          Restart computer. Post new HJT log.

            Broni, I appreciate your patience so much.  I did as you asked, but, here's what I'm thinking.  I make a copy of the file, delete it from my computer and see if I have any problems.  Since I don't have vista and I don't plan on getting it - at least not for this computer- that file shouldn't really matter - right?

            Here is the copy of the HJT log.  Let me know your thoughts on my plan ???

            I don't like this whole folder: Microsoft\MigWiz, located in C:\Program Files, but I don't think deleting a file will change anything, because some process is calling for it, since some window opens. We have to find a parent of that file.
            Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder, and see, if AutoPlay.exe file is there. If so, delete.
            If it's not there, search your computer for it.

              I had to unhide folders, but, I found it.  Deleted it.  Restarted the computer and ...

              Hello, it greeted me just as before.  should I try another autorun scan to see if the string will show up.  I hadn't thought about hidden folders the last time around?

              Take it easy. It was just one of steps.
              I need to see new HJT log, but I may be in bed by then.

                I'm sending this to you and I hope you have a great night of sleep.  I am certainly going to try.  Good Night and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

                  Maybe my computer is trying to trick me or maybe it's just old and takes a while for things to manifest.  In any case, when I re-started the computer, my lovely file didn't greet me.  Do you still want me to do the snap files?
