    "System" in task Manager using a lot of memory.
    « on: March 02, 2009, 04:03:25 AM »
    I have never see the system jump to the top of the memory usage section, usually its at the bottom with system Idle process. Other things started acting up before I opened task manager to see what happened. My mouse froze, I had to disconnect it and reconnect it to work, and it keeps freezing for a quick sec, then jumping to where i pull it. Things are slower to load, other than that, nothing odd. I ran all scans, nothing came up on any except for the bear share, I removed it I never use it anymore but nothing has changed its still doing it, see if you see anything, let me know if theses anything else I should do. Thanks!

    Please download Wrapper.exe to your desktop

    * Double click the program to run it. It will only take a few seconds to run.
    * If any of your security programs try to block it please allow it to run.
    * When prompted, press any key to exit the program

    Now run a new HijackThis scan and post the log.

      Run a new HijackThis scan. Before copying the log in Notepad go to Format and click Word Wrap.

      Then copy and paste the log.

        I hope you meant you wanted word wrap chosen, it was already chosen so I just left it? Let me know if that was wrong :

            After the 1st restart, after using Move it, everything was real slow to start up, the blue welcome page was stuck for a while then the desktop came up empty...it finally all came up but scared me for a sec.
             System is still taking up a lot of memory. 

            Combo file attached

            Delete these files/folders, as follows:

            1. Go to Start > Run > type Notepad.exe and click OK to open Notepad.
            It must be Notepad, not Wordpad.
            2. Copy the text in the below code box by highlighting all the text and pressing Ctrl+C

            Code: [Select]
            KillAll::

            Driver::
            JesukDriver
            MocugykDriver

            File::
            c:\windows\system32\jesuk.sys
            c:\windows\system32\mocugyk.sys

            Registry::
            [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{284b41dd-ccdc-11dd-9fb7-001320bc3e08}]

            3. Go to the Notepad window and click Edit > Paste
            4. Then click File > Save
            5. Name the file CFScript.txt - Save the file to your Desktop
            6. Then drag the CFScript (hold the left mouse button while dragging the file) and drop it (release the left mouse button) into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below. Important: Perform this instruction carefully!



            ComboFix will begin to execute, just follow the prompts.
            After reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it will produce a log for you.
            Post that log (Combofix.txt) in your next reply.

            Note: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to freeze

                  [start explorer]
                  [Reboot]

                  * Return to OTMoveIt3, right click in the "Paste Instructions for Items to be Moved" window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
                  * Click the red Moveit! button.

                      The OTMoveIt fix didn't work. I edited the directions so please run it again and post the new log. Also don't forget the Rooter scan.

                          This actually would not work in IE, as I have 8, and it wants 6 or 7.....but works well with Firefox 1.5 or higher. Anywho....here is the results.

                          • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox
                          • Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
                          • Then hit Enter.
                          .
                          .
                          The above procedure will:
                          • Delete:
                            • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
                            • VundoFix backups, if present
                            • The C:\Deckard folder, if present
                            • The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
                            • Reset the clock settings.
                            • Hide file extensions, if required.
                            • Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
                            • Set a new, clean Restore Point.
                            .
                            ----------


                            Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one
                            Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will enable your computer to roll-back to a clean working state if needed.
                            • Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click System Restore
                            • Choose the radio button marked Create a Restore Point on the first screen then click Next Give the Restore Point a name then click Create.
                            • The new restore point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
                            • Next go to Start > Run and type Cleanmgr
                            • Click OK
                            • Click the More Options Tab.
                            • Click Clean Up in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created clean one.
                            You can find instructions on how to enable and re-enable system restore here:

                            Windows XP System Restore Guide or Windows Vista System Restore Guide
                            .
                            ----------

                            Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
                            • Click Start Now
                            • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
                            • Click Start
                            • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
                            • Update anything listed.
                            .
                            ----------

                            Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

                            ----------

                            How is the computer running now?

                              I have a bunch of different versions of flash...adobe and  Macromedia......do I need all the different ones? or can they somehow be removed so all I have is one. I guess whatever i need is what i want, unneeded...no.

                              Download the Flash Player Uninstaller and save it to your desktop.

                              Run the uninstaller program and then reboot your computer to complete the uninstall.

                              Download and install the latest version of Flash Player

                                Ok got that, but it still tells me theres a Java thats old on here, even tho I removed them all and updated.
                                Also, earlier, everything was hanging, and moving S L O W...so I pulled up my task manager, System still taking up a
                                bunch of memory but there was a wowexe.exe on there, I have seen this before but not for a while. As soon as
                                I end process things go back to normal, but this looks very weird to me, the way its indented like that, and not showing
                                what its using? Screen Copy attached.

                                Wowexec.exe (Windows on Windows subsystem) and Ntvdm.exe (NT Virtual DOS
                                Machine) are used to run 16-bit programs (DOS programs) in a virtual
                                environment. If they are being used you will see the programs indented
                                under the Ntvdm.exe entry in the Task Manager. Ntvdm.exe and
                                Wowexec.exe will remain in memory after you close the 16-bit
                                application, "in case" you want to launch another 16-bit program. If
                                these items are started when you boot the computer, but no associated
                                program is shown under them, check your startup items, some 16-bit
                                program is set to start and do something when the computer starts. That
                                "16-bit something" could be anything.

                                I don't think it's malware but could be running due to malware.

                                Download DrWeb CureIt & save it to your desktop. Scan with DrWeb-CureIt as follows:
                                • Double-click on drweb-cureit.exe and then click Start
                                • An information notice will appear, click OK.
                                • This starts a short scan that will scan the files currently running in memory.
                                • If you get a prompt to buy the full version just exit out of the window. The scanner will still work without buying the full version
                                • If or when something is found, click the Yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it.
                                • Once the short scan has finished, Click Settings > Change Settings
                                • Under the Scanning tab UNcheck Heuristic analysis and click OK
                                • Back at the main window, select the Complete scan button and then click the Green Arrow Start Scanning button on the right and the scan will start.
                                  • Click Yes to all if it asks if you want to cure/move any file(s).
                                • When the scan is done.
                                • In the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top left, click File and choose Save report list.
                                • Save the DrWeb.csv report to your Desktop.
                                • Exit Dr.Web Cureit.
                                • Important! Reboot your computer because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
                                [/COLOR]
                                • After reboot, Right-click the Dr.Web log on the desktop and choose Open With > Notepad
                                • Copy and paste that log in the next reply

                                  Whatever issues remain are likely not malware related.

                                  Try posting in the Windows forum for further help.

                                      Hey evilfantasy...I realized today that when I run in safe with networking my system runs fine, then when I switch back to normal there the system is running high again. Does this ring any bells? If not I will be posting like you said in the Windows forum.

                                        Try opening task manager and setting its priority to normal
                                        that should do the trick

                                          Well I think I finally have this solved. i tried going in and setting it to "normal" and found it was already at normal. I found this thread while  browsing for others that had the same issue: http://apcmag.com/Forum.htm?g=posts&m=4596

                                          So I un-installed AVG. And guess what the problem went away pronto. Well now the only prob is finding another anti-virus that covers as much as AVG did that I like. I am using a trial of Panda Internet Security 2009. I don't like it bc they have like 10 Process running at once hogging LOADS of memory and VM. I also cause one that was running at 62K+ and stated according to System Explorer it was "Panda Advertising" Not sure what that was about.  So now I'm going to browse the threads here see what other Anti-Virus's are suggested.
