    Blimey, it's in French! This might not be very easy for us.

    Try closing all open programs, run HiJackThis again and select the following items to be fixed:

    Just spotted this:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Fix-It AV] C:\PROGRA~1\Ontrack\Fix-It\MemCheck.exe

    If this program is checking your memory each time Windows loads (the name 'MemCheck' suggests that that is what it's for), then that could be taking a significant amount of time.

    I think it's also likely that this line isn't doing much useful:

    O4 - Global Startup: Adobe Gamma Loader.exe.lnk = C:\Program Files\Fichiers communs\Adobe\Calibration\Adobe Gamma Loader.exe

    and this one:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NeroFilterCheck] C:\WINDOWS\system32\NeroCheck.exe

    and MSN Messenger has two programs for some reason - stop them from loading up as well (you can still run them manually from the Start Menu):

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [msnappau] "C:\Program Files\MSN Apps\Updater\01.02.3000.1001\fr\msnappau.exe"
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MsnMsgr] "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\MsnMsgr.Exe" /background

    Close all open programs, run HiJackThis and select those 4 entries to be fixed. Reboot after that and see if it's any better.

    hi,
    sorry to tell you that but the pc is still takiing a lot of time to start apps, every application makes the cpu use go to 100% for 2 to 3 minutes and then things are getting back to normal. if you have any other idea or soft I could use to see what's the matter, I'm "open", otherwise thx for your help, at least I removed a few supposed bad things. here is another hijackthis log (as a last chance):

    I don't like Google Language Tools:

    Thank you for the answer. I am plait that you have repare the problem - it was one of these problems which is not easy A to decouvrir the reason. I think that your English written and better than my French! Always your assistance has.

    Julien, have a read of this info to prevent spyware problems returning. Your English isn't that bad, I've seen worse from English people . You already have one antivirus program, you don't need two, AVG is very good:

    Preventing it returning

    After your problem has been resolved on the forum, it is an absoulute MUST to do the following steps to prevent the problem returning. Click on the link to get access to the software or webpage that I'm referring to.

    1. Visit Windows Update
    Pay a visit to Windows Update and scan for and download ALL Critical Updates and Service Packs. New updates are usually released monthly so check back to Windows Update every month.

    2. Download Antivirus Software-
    If you haven't already got Antivirus software, you should download and install AVG Antivirus. It is freeware and is updated nearly every 2 days (sometimes more frequently if there are a lot of new viruses) and in my opinion, is better than some Antivirus software such as Norton. Antivirus software will prevent viruses infecting your system and it is important that you update it every two days or every week at the most.

    3. Download a Firewall-
    If you haven't already got a firewall, it is Very important that you download one. Firewalls will prevent unauthorised access to your computer and stop data leaking out of your computer. You may think that it won't happen to you, but Hackers don't care who you are, what you do, where you live or what you had for tea last Sunday on your holiday in the Lake District, they want your data. Firewalls will keep these sneaks out and one of the best is Sygate Personal Firewall, which happens to be freeware.

    4. Spyware Scanners-
    It is important that as well as having real time spyware protection, you have a spyware scanning application. If you have not already been told to download one earlier in this thread, it is a good idea to download Spybot Search And Destroy and Ad-aware. They are both spyware scanners and will search for a remove spyware. It is recommended that you have both, because one will pick up entries that the other misses. It is even a good idea to download these if you have other programs such as ASE, Spysweeper, Pest Patrol, etc, because one spyware scanner will not pick up everything. Please remember to update your spyware scanners weekly/fortnightly.

    5. Prevent Spyware slipping through Internet Explorer-
    Quite a lot of spyware slips through Internet Explorer if your settings are not tight enough. Spyware Blaster will help you prevent spyware slipping through and installing tracking cookies. Simply run it via Start> Programs> Spyware Blaster and click Enable All Protection and it will protect you. It doesn't even have to be open! Remember to update weekly/fortnightly.

    6. Constant Spyware Protection-
    It is important to have constant spyware protection. Spyware Guard works like an antivirus program but detects Spyware instead. It will constantly protect your system. Check for updates monthly.

    All Of these steps are very important and it is HIGHLY recommended that you download all of the programs mentioned for your own safety. Remember to Update everything (including Windows using Windows Update)! It is also a good idea to perform weekly/fortnightly scans with Spybot S&D, Ad-aware and your antivirus software.

    And last of all, please remember, that common sense is your greatest tool. Without it, spyware and other related Malware would rule!

    Are you taking the mickey out of my French, Owen?! It's a very long time since I did my French A-level you know! And I couldn't remember how to put accents on any of my letters, which is why your sneaky little Google Language Tools didn't know what I was talking about, lol!
