it seems veiwpoint is still on there but the file is missing or something

I can't see any antivirus program running.
Download, and install one of two:
- Avira free antivirus: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/index.html
- Avast! free antivirus: http://filehippo.com/download_avast_antivirus/

You need to update Java:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 6
Uninstall all previous versions of Java through Add\Remove.

Open HJT, and checkmark:
- O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SUPERAntiSpyware] C:\Program Files\SUPERAntiSpyware\SUPERAntiSpyware.exe - unnecessary startup
- O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present - checkmark this entry if you did not activate the 'Lock homepage from changes' option in some kind of anti-spyware tool.
- O20 - AppInit_DLLs:
- O20 - Winlogon Notify: !SASWinLogon - C:\Program Files\SUPERAntiSpyware\SASWINLO.dll - unnecessary service
- O23 - Service: Viewpoint Manager Service - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Common\ViewpointService.exe (file missing)
Click "Fix checked" button.

Delete Viewpoint folder from C:\Program Files

Restart computer. Post new HJT log.

The antivirus is in Zonealarm security suite

Oh, I see. Sorry for that, I thought, it was only a firewall.

Very good

Your computer is clean

1. Download, and install CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds. Get "Slim" version.
Read CCleaner instruction here: http://www.jahewi.nl/ccleaner/ccleaner.html.
Run CCleaner.

2. Turn off System Restore:

- Windows XP:
   1. Click Start.
   2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
   3. Click the System Restore tab.
   4. Check "Turn off System Restore".
   5. Click Apply.
   6. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
   7. Click OK.
- Windows Vista:
   1. Click Start.
   2. Right-click the Computer icon, and then click Properties.
   3. Click on System Protection under the Tasks column on the left side
   4. Click on Continue on the "User Account Control" window that pops up
   5. Under the System Protection tab, find Available Disks
   6. Uncheck the box for any drive you wish to disable system restore on (in most cases, drive "C:")
   7. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click "Turn System Restore Off" on the popup window to do this.
   8. Click OK

3. Restart computer.

4. Turn System Restore on.

5. (optional) Download, and install free version of ThreatFire: http://www.threatfire.com/. It'll give you an extra protection against malwares. It won't interfere with your antivirus program

6. Read "So how did I get infected in the first place?": http://www.castlecops.com/postlite7736-.html

7. Let me know, how your computer is doing.

paudashlake · « **Reply #19 on:** July 04, 2008, 10:51:12 AM »

how do i turn system restore back on?

There isn't a system restore tab since i restarted it.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #20 on:** July 04, 2008, 11:56:42 AM »

Right Click My Computer --> Properties --> System Restore Tab?

Broni · « **Reply #21 on:** July 04, 2008, 07:49:22 PM »

Go Start>Run, and type in:
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
Click OK.

paudashlake · « **Reply #22 on:** July 05, 2008, 08:46:59 AM »

okay..thx system restore is back on.

BUT!!!!!!

my computer is still going slow. not many processes are running, or anything. Cpuld there be something else helping slow it down?

Broni · « **Reply #23 on:** July 05, 2008, 06:00:07 PM »

I'd get another 512MB of RAM. It's cheap, and it may help.

paudashlake · « **Reply #24 on:** July 05, 2008, 07:48:45 PM »

i was planning to, but until then, it is still slowing down. Quickly going slower. Just a few days ago it was so fast. I need more ideas!!

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #25 on:** July 05, 2008, 07:50:15 PM »

You didn't do anything, did you?

(downloads, installs, ect...)

paudashlake · « **Reply #26 on:** July 05, 2008, 07:58:05 PM »

i downloaded a few things from pc magizine. But they are not going to help with the slowing down of my pc

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #27 on:** July 05, 2008, 07:59:07 PM »

You'd never know...
What were they?

paudashlake · « **Reply #28 on:** July 05, 2008, 08:02:50 PM »

task killer www.rsdsoft.com

eraser www.heidi.ie/eraser

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #29 on:** July 05, 2008, 08:08:12 PM »

They don't look like anything that can cause 'sluggishness'.

If they can be reinstalled, I would try uninstalling them and seeing what happens.

It was done through HJT, AS ALWAYS.

Broni · « **Reply #31 on:** July 05, 2008, 08:11:04 PM »

Defrag?

paudashlake · « **Reply #32 on:** July 05, 2008, 08:11:32 PM »

not bad. Only the things i want running are. Is it possible that it could be the zonealarm security suite? I just recently installed it. But I don't really like it.

paudashlake · « **Reply #33 on:** July 05, 2008, 08:12:41 PM »

nothing to defrag. Just tried it. Nothing

Just wondering if anything was added after HijackThis.

paudashlake · « **Reply #35 on:** July 05, 2008, 08:18:04 PM »

Do oyu want me to post a new copy of HJT? Maybe something changed.

Broni · « **Reply #36 on:** July 05, 2008, 08:34:38 PM »

Go ahead.
You may try also uninstalling ZA, but before you do, download replacements:
- Avira free antivirus: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/index.html
or
- Avast! free antivirus: http://filehippo.com/download_avast_antivirus/

and
- Comodo free firewall: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
or
Windows firewall up.

Physically disconnect from the Net, while making changes.

eraser www.heidi.ie/eraser

For what it's worth - I had to delete the new version of Eraser about a month ago because of consistent errors that showed up with Event Viewer. I can't remember the exact error but my boot time increased quite a bit, that's why I went looking. The Heidi Forum was no help so I just uninstalled it.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #38 on:** July 06, 2008, 09:06:19 AM »

Any better?

NickBurns · « **Reply #40 on:** August 08, 2008, 08:15:13 PM »

Have you considered running Lavasoft's Ad-Aware program? I have found success in running this program first before my weekly ritual of tweeking my PC. The website provides a Freeware copy, and I have used it for 3 years no Virus yet.

http://lavasoft.com/

Please advise if this was helpful? I have other steps you can use that have helped me.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #41 on:** August 08, 2008, 08:30:45 PM »

Welcome, NickBurns but this topic is a month old....and the Original Poster is gone...

CBMatt · « **Reply #42 on:** August 08, 2008, 08:41:11 PM »

Nick, your input is appreciated, but like Carbon said, the original poster has deleted their account and is no longer a member.

On that note, I am going to go ahead and lock this thread.
