Bytes sent more then bytes received, hjt log provided
Hi,
The bytes sent seem to be at least triple or more than the bytes received. I've run adaware, spybot, my version of VET, and a program called cleansweeper. Adaware and spybot picked up some stuff but it's still running slow. I've also run these in safe mode.
Below is my hjt log:
Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
Scan saved at 6:40:28 AM, on 1/05/2006
Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180)
You are not running HijackThis (HJT) from a desired location. You really need to setup a dedicated folder for HJT items – to avoid horrible clutter and/or potential lost backup issues.
It's best that the HijackThis tool NOT be located in its current location (particularly on your Desktop or in a TEMP folder). This way you can more easily undo any changes if something goes wrong.
Create a new folder in your C: Drive.
Name the FOLDER HijackThis (or HJT) such as C:\Program Files\HijackThis or C:\HJT and move the HijackThis.exe file into it.
Run HJT from there (and revise your shortcut accordingly).
Read over the following directions. Ask if anything appears unclear to you.
We will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet. Accordingly, it is probably a good idea to print out the following directions or copy them to a text file on your desktop using NOTEPAD. Read these instructions carefully and feel free to ask if you're unsure about anything.
SELECT HijackThis FIX ITEMS: Scan with HijackThis and place a check next to these items:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = about:blank
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = about:blank
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName =
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
Make sure that all browser windows and internet links are closed, even this one! CLICK ’FIX CHECKED’ with HijackThis.
HIDDEN FILES: To make sure you can see all hidden files, please follow the directions here
SAFEMODE: Boot into safe mode by tapping the F8 key at restart and choosing 'safe mode' menu option (explained here if needed).
Delete TEMPORARY FILES: Now, hunt down the most common temporary file locations and the temporary file clutter contained therein (and of possible malware hiding places):
Go to Start > Run and type: CLEANMGR.EXE and hit enter.
When prompted select the C: drive and click ok. Check the boxes for:
Temporary Internet Files
Downloaded Program Files
Recycle Bin
Temporary Files
Click OK or Enter
For additional, more thorough cleaning and for multi-profile user configurations: (*) Run Clean.bat to clean up your TEMPorary files.
***** Clean out the Recycle Bin for items removed below, ONLY once you have regained the full functional use of your PC.
Navigate to these files or folders using Windows Explorer (OR Start -> Search) and delete (if present):
DELETE FILES:
C:\WINDOWS\VirtualDNS.dll
POST A REVISED HIJACKTHIS LOG for review:
Reboot and post a new HijackThis log with any feedback as appropriate - how things are now behaving: any new or remaining apparent issues.
Thank you for replying to my thread and helping me.
I did exactly what you said and here is the new hijackthis log:

I noticed a few lines have disappeared such as the O6 and the 021 lines but my bytes are still more than my bytes received, thus causing a very slow internet connection. Oh, and C:\WINDOWS\VirtualDNS.dll was not present to delete.
