This isn't my computer, it's somebody elses. All the tests come out clean, yet simply opening Firefox takes up 87% of the processor speed. I'm trying to avoid a complete reformat. Attached are the files.

I don't see much in the logs. Could be a conflict betweem AVG 7.5 and an old install of Panda Titanium 2006.

Download
- Pocket Killbox
- ExplorerXP

Run HijackThis. Click the 'Do a system scan only' button. Place a checkmark in the box next to the following lines:

Click on the 'Fix checked' button. Wait for HijackThis to finish; close HijackThis.

Now run Pocket Killbox:

Choose Tools -> Delete Temp Files and click Delete Selected Temp Files
Then after it deletes the files click the Exit (Save Settings) button.

NOTE: Pocket Killbox will only list the added files it is able to find on the system. So when you do the below, if some files do not show in the list after pasting them in, just continue..

Select:

  • Delete on Reboot
  • then Click on the All Files button.
  • Please copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):
    C:\WINDOWS\Temp\mv3wa9rr.TMP
  • Return to Killbox, go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
  • Click the red-and-white Delete File button. Click Yes at the Delete on Reboot prompt. Click OK at any PendingFileRenameOperations prompt (and please let me know if you receive this message!).

If Killbox does not reboot or you get a Pending Operations type error message just reboot your PC yourself.

Now boot into SAFE MODE

Open ExplorerXP navigate to and DELETE the following:

C:\WINDOWS\r007
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\install.log
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\unagiuninst.exe
Now run ATFCleaner.

Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start -> Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:

Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin

And Click OK.

Using Windows Explorer (right click the Start button and select Explore to open Windows Explorer) navigate to C:\ISeeYouXP and locate the following script:
ShowIT.bat

Double-click to run the batch.

REBOOT to .

Post the following logs:
ISeeYouXP.txt (C:\ISeeYouXP.txt)
HijackThis (C:\Program Files\HJT\hijackthis.log)

Make sure you tell me how things are working.

What extensions are installed on FireFox?

Everything seems to be back in relative order. The computer still seems a wee bit slow. The processor spikes to 100% just to try and open an additional IE6 window, but then again after doing all of this I have yet to run a CHKDISK or a defrag, so that's probably part of the problem right there. Once opened, the CPU usage dips back down to 5% or less. Everything appears to be in relative order. Actually, never mind. It's still taking far too long even after everything is set. The current memory usage is 253 MB on a 1 GB machine. Befuddling. Thanks.

Did you run ShowIT.bat as requested?  If so, the settings that should have been changed, weren't.

None of the things I indicated to be fixed by HijackThis were fixed.

When did this CPU spiking start?  Before or after AdAware 2007 was installed?

The problems started before the A.A.W. installation. The computer is still exceedingly slow, but I don't see anything else wrong.

You may need to uninstall AAW, to see if that is the problem.

Run HijackThis. Click the 'Do a system scan only' button. Place a checkmark in the box next to the following lines:

Click on the 'Fix checked' button. Wait for HijackThis to finish; close HijackThis.

Copy the contents of the below quote box to Notepad; Save As FixReg.reg to your Desktop; make sure File Type: is set to All Files (*.*).

"Hidden"=dword:00000001
"SuperHidden"=dword:00000001
"ShowSuperHidden"=dword:00000001
"HideFileExt"=dword:00000000

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon\notify\avldr]

Close Notepad.

Locate FixReg.reg on your Desktop. Double-click on it and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to merge with the registry.

Now run Pocket Killbox:

Choose Tools -> Delete Temp Files and click Delete Selected Temp Files
Then after it deletes the files click the Exit (Save Settings) button.

NOTE: Pocket Killbox will only list the added files it is able to find on the system. So when you do the below, if some files do not show in the list after pasting them in, just continue..
