That's a LOT of words for no punctuation!  :o

Check for running processes in task manager. You probably have malware in there as well, and system optimizer....oh well.....

You can run Hijack This and post a log file here (zipped, please) for analysis as well.

You might try the things mentioned here as well. Remember Safe Mode and System Restore Off to scan!  ;)

http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1134123580

I would certainly recommend removing ALL add on toolbars to start, at least until we get this solved, and hopefully forever.

You keep working on that spelling and punctuation. Complete sentences are helpful in any language.

Post by: GX1_Man on May 14, 2006, 12:51:18 AM
Safe Mode is repeatedly tapping the F8 key at boot BEFORE the Windows logo appears.

Google can show you the rest:

Title: Re: sudden slow down
Post by: GX1_Man on May 14, 2006, 01:05:52 PM
One active antivirus is all that is needed. You can try the free online scan at www.trendmicro, then do all the other scans and let us know.

Post by: dl65 on May 14, 2006, 01:43:10 PM
 pandora95......  Just looking at your hijackthis log ...... and I see a number of things which need attention ..........

The first thing I would do is ....turn off your system restore ....... to do this click ....START/CONTROL PANEL/SYSTEM/..... when system properties opens click on the system restore tab ....... AND put a tick in front of ...."Turn off system restore on all hard drives"  ....then click "APPLY" and then "OK" .... Now , before we go any further , I would like you to Download and install....... Ewido from..... http://www.filehippo.com/download_ewido/  ....once you have it downloaded ..... make sure you have the latest updates ..... ( dont run it yet .)

Next download ..... CCLEANER from ........  http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/   and install it and set it up as detailed here ...... http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1144186359   ......  when you have it setup ( configured ) run the clearner part ( the brush icon ) ........... delete whatever it finds ........
Then run the "issues" portion ..... it's the icon right below the brush ........ remove anything it finds ( remember to do the backup when prompted ) .......then fix anything found .........
Next I would like you to reboot into "safe mode" ........ to do this shut down and restart the machine...... JUST as the pc is starting to load....repeatedly tap the F8 key ......and you will be offered options re starting windows ...... choose the SAFE mode ..........  once safe mode loads up windows , it you will see your desktop, but it will look differant than you are used to seeing .
Now run a full system scan with Ewido ..........  delete anything it finds ( it is a trojan hunter and you appear to have a trojan in residence)
Next , while still in Safe mode , run a full system scan with your Anti virus program .   Delete anything it finds ..........  Now reboot back into normal mode ........ ( leave system restore off )  .
Now rescan with hijackthis and post a new logfile .......... and we will continue to clean up your machine .

Title: Re: sudden slow down
Post by: dl65 on May 16, 2006, 10:20:26 AM
 pandora95......I can't be sure if its gone or not ........ when AVG found it initially,  what was the virus called ........ were you not given the option of placing it in the virus vault ?   To check this , open up AVG ...and click on the TEST CENTER ....... now click on the Virus vault.........  is anything in there ?
Which program was scanning when you told it to ignore the virus ........?

k well iut isnt gone when i did a scan with avg on safe mode it didnt find it then i did it with avast anitvirus on regular mode and it found it i know the exct folder it said that the request couldnt be made or something like that to heal and move to chest so the only thing i could do is ignore,see i was scanning with windows defender first when the popup came on then again with avast but it shows up as avg resident scanner found a virus? so is there anythin i could do to get rid of it my aim is urdaddy574 and msn is [email protected] ty

Post by: pandora95 on May 17, 2006, 04:37:54 AM
main point theres a virus and avg antivirus cant heal or remove to chest ? so i pressed ignore .Now what  can i download or do to remove this virus ,i have the exact file location if that helps. ty
Title: Re: sudden slow down
Post by: Fed on May 17, 2006, 05:04:15 AM
Google for killbox.exe
Title: Re: sudden slow down
Post by: dl65 on May 17, 2006, 02:30:36 PM
pandora95...... The reason AVG isnt finding the bug ........ is that you told AVG to ignore it ...and thats exactly what it's doing .............
Quote
i know the exct folder
   ...... What file is this bug residing in ?
There is no point running AVG ..... as it will simply ignore that bug now....... unless you remove that entry from the ignore file ........
The other thing is ...that we asked you to provide a hijackthis log file ...... that would be of great help.   The original one was riddled with bugs ........ so in an effort to remove some of them...... the other cleaning options were suggested to be run first and then post a fresh hijackthis log....... ( thats the one we wish to see )

Title: Re: sudden slow down
Post by: pandora95 on May 17, 2006, 07:16:02 PM
k first of all i told it to ignore because i had no other options and the virus only popped up when runnin avast and microsoft defender the folder is in

c:/ut2004/textures/bweapons.zip.exe   or
c:/ut2004/textures/ballisticweapons.zip.exe

k again i pressed ignore because avg couldnt remove it or move to chest what are the other option?now  what can i do to get rid of the bug ?

Title: Re: sudden slow down
Post by: Fed on May 20, 2006, 12:25:25 AM
You should have only deleted the file, not the whole folder.
Perhaps you should do a fresh install of UT.

Running Programs, bottom right hand corner of your desktop, 2 little monitor screens, right click, check status, look for your IP address.

Title: Re: sudden slow down
Post by: dl65 on May 23, 2006, 10:45:31 PM
 pandora95......  Did this slowdown start right after you updated your bios ...( or did you update it ? ) Pity you are on dialup or I could with your permission connect to your machine and see it here on my desktop.  
When was the last time you formatted that machine ......?
The other thing is , we dont know if you have unnecessary toolbars installed or if when running scans you neglected to remove something ....... EG..... like telling AVG to ignore infected entries .........
If it was mine , I would backup anything I wanted and format it .

i found out that i didnt update my bios,and i just did a system recovery to beginning state and is workin alrite hopefully the virus is gone?,besides avg or avast what anti virus should i use that is free,and yes we can do a remote acces dont it alot before with dial up.last thing is should i have ewido, windows defender,avast,the 2 firewalls ,all running becuase that probably what was slowing my computer,last thing is im having trouble getting spybot to work correctly because everytime i get a resident change message the popup is all messed up and you cant see where to click yes or no,what is spybot tea timer and the other thing during the installation?ty
Title: Re: sudden slow down
Post by: Fed on May 26, 2006, 06:11:48 PM
1 x Firewall (I use Sygate Version 5.5 Build 2710)
1 x Antivirus (I use AVG Free)
1 x Antispyware (I use Spybot S&D)

Note: Spybot has a GUI glitch, it amazes me that they haven't fixed it yet.
I will post the 'fix' for it as soon as I remember it or find it.

well after the pc world diagrams of anti virus u still use avg,but see on the resident scanner (2 now) a virus popped up and i when i clicked move to vault or heal it said the requested couldnt not be performed on this object ,or similiar so thats 2 viruses that got away,hows the anti vir ,or whats wrong avast dont it have a on access scanner,last thing u dont use ewido or adware?wahts tea timer and the other thing spybot has?ty
Title: Re: sudden slow down

I'm afraid you have a severe problem, you should really get it checked out.

AVG is fine, PC World said it was clunky, what is clunky I wonder?
AVG has never claimed to be anything more than Antivirus software.
You want clunky, save up your money & get the latest & greatest from Norton. (CLUNK)

Try AVG scanning in safe mode.

I haven't tried Avast so I can't comment on it.

If I ever get a Trojan then Ewido would be my 1st choice.

Ive found Adaware has been made redundant by Ccleaner which I use every day.

Tea Timer protects your System Settings.

I hope this helps you.

ty it helped me and im gonna try out anti vir ,but how can i get my comp checked out i just reinstalled windows so will the virus still be there? and i should get rid of adware and keep ccleaner .my worst worry is not detecting anythin like before i used avast alot and had no problems but then i  got avg and it detected viruses that it couldnt remove what i believ is that the viruses were on a disk? thats y it couldnt remove it,and lastly is that what is ur schedule for scanning spyware,viruses,ccleaner,defrag.cleanup all that, how often do u do it ? ty

You only need to get your computer checked out if it has a problem.

Quote
i just reinstalled windows so will the virus still be there?
A clean install will eliminate all viruses.

Quote
and i should get rid of adware and keep ccleaner
Keep Adaware but if you use ccleaner first you will see that Adaware won't find anything to worry about.
Adaware offers no realtime protection anyway.

Quote
i  got avg and it detected viruses that it couldnt remove
Run AVG in Safe Mode.

Quote
what i believ is that the viruses were on a disk? thats y it couldnt remove it,
AVG should have told you where and what the 'virus' was.

Quote
what is ur schedule for scanning spyware,viruses,ccleaner,defrag.cleanup all that, how often do u do it ?
Ccleaner daily.
Registry cleanup weekly.
Defrag weekly.
AVG scan if I'm bored.
Spybot scan if I'm bored.
Online scans if I'm bored.

I probably over do a lot of this stuff but it makes me feel good. :)

Now all we need to do is work on your punctuation. ;)

What protection did you finish up using?
Firewall? Antivirus? Antispyware? Etc?
