    Question Windows XP / Running Very Slowly

    Hello there, I would like to say: Thank You, in Advance for helping me. So. Thank you.

    Hi, My computer has recently (started yesterday) been running very slowly and I can't figure out why. I try and run Spyware Doctor, and AD Aware SE Personal, However neither will load, They will begin to load and then Just.. Stop responding, very frustrating. Also, I am noticing a 4-7 second delay when I click on a folder, or a picture etc. Before it will allow me to click it again and access the item. In Addition to the pains of this, When I attempt to log into my favourite video game: World of Warcraft, It goes through the process and then tells me: "Unable to Validate Game Version, This may be caused by file corruption, or interference of another program."

    Here is my HiJackthis Logfile, I hope it helps.

    Stop and Disable the above Services
    • Go to Start » Run » type: Services.msc » OK.
    • Scroll down and find this service: (service names above in brackets)
    • Double-click on it.
    • Under the General tab, click the Stop button.
    • Then change the Startup Type to Disabled.
    • Click Apply and then OK.
    Next:
    • Run HijackThis.
    • Click on ’Open the Misc Tools section’.
    • Click on ’Delete an NT Service’.
    • Enter the (service name identified in brackets) into that field (make sure there are NO spaces before or after the name):
      service name
    • Click OK and select NO when asked to reboot.




    Read over the following directions. Ask if anything appears unclear to you.



    Clean out TEMPORARY FILES procedures:
    To clean your temp folder, recycle bin, etc..please download this free tool:

    CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadbuilds.asp

    Install Options:
    • Don't install any Toolbars, or other programs, should it ask you!
    • Just uncheck the option of installing the Yahoo toolbar.

    It will put a shortcut on your Desktop.

    Do not run CCleaner until requested later.





    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:

    O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [WINDOWS MESSENGER] msnsmgs.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [AUTOVIRUSPROTECTION] ciscv.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\RunServices: [WINDOWS MESSENGER] msnsmgs.exe
    O16 - DPF: {24311111-1111-1121-1111-111191113457} - file://c:\eied_s7.cab
    O20 - AppInit_DLLs: repairs.dll
    O23 - Service: tsecure - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\tsecure.exe

    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, use CCleaner to hunt down the most common temporary file locations and the temporary file clutter contained therein (and of possible malware hiding places):

    Run CCleaner .

    FIRST-TIME USE:
    Select the ‘Options’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), ‘Advanced’ BUTTON, and then UNCHECK the ‘Only delete files in Windows Temp Folders older than 48 hours’.

    Select the ‘Cleaner’ BUTTON option (top LEFT), if not already selected. Use the ’Windows’ TAB up front by default.
    • Uncheck ‘Cookies’ option (advisable)
    • Optionally, Uncheck ‘Recently Typed URLs’ option (potentially still useful)
    • Click the ‘Analyse’ button.
    • Thereafter, click ‘Run Cleaner’ after you have reviewed what it proposes to clean.

    ***** 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:

    msnsmgs.exe
    ciscv.exe
    repairs.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\tsecure.exe





    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.

    Thanks Vop for your info, However sad to report Seemingly no change on the shenanigans of my speed... Ill give you a report on everything then pop up my log... Here we go!

    Did the services.msc thing, took me a few tries (and some thinking) but finnaly was able to turn off PDM, and keep it off. The other 2 I couldnt find on the list and HiJack couldnt find em in the registry.. so I went past them.


    SELECT HijackThis FIX ITEMS: Scan with HijackThis and place a check next to these items:

    O23 - Service: tsecure - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\tsecure.exe
    For some reason or another, Windows Messenger (both) couldnt be found on the list... and neither was AppInit_DLLs: repair.dll .. I wish I had a clue what I was doing.. Anyway on with the report..

    turned off my comp, rebooted in safe mode.. Ran CC where it took off like 140 mbs of junk.. (yay?) Went and found the stuff told to delete:

    DELETE FILES:

    msnsmgs.exe
    ciscv.exe
    repairs.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\tsecure.exe
    Except for msnmgs.exe, and repairs.dll .. cause.. I couldn't find em.

    End of my Report of Sadness... Thanks for Keepin up the Good Fight.. And as promised.. heres my log... Thanks Boss..

    If 'Spyware Doctor' is currently running, please exit that application for now:

    Disable Spyware Doctor
    1. Click the Spyware Doctor icon in the System Tray.
    2. Click Settings.
    3. Click Startup Settings under Pick a Category.
    4. Uncheck Run at Windows startup.
    5. Click Apply and Exit Spyware Doctor.



    Similarly, 'SpyCatcher' may also interfere with manual fixes and should be disabled or exited for now. It may not be a good idea to run both those tools at the same time.

    You are not currently running a real-time (always on) antivirus tool - that could be a source of serious problems. Here are some good free Antivirus programs that are decent, including AVG and Avast!. Select one of these tools to protect your PC.
    AVG: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

    Save 20% on AVG Internet Security 2012 Suite!
    A whole new list of infections have now surfaced.


    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.




    Download and install AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 (AVG AS - formally known as Ewido anti-spyware 4.0 - uninstall any previous version first).
    • Click the Download BUTTON. On the next page click the Download now BUTTON.
    • Save and then install (Run) from the save location.
    • Open/Run AVG Anti-Spyware
    • Wait a few moments and AVG Anti-Spyware should Auto update itself (note date of last update). If it doesn't update, click the update ICON at top of screen:

    • Click on the Update now LINK at the top of the window
      • Click on the Start update button
      • Wait for the update to download and install
  7. This is very important to get the LATEST updates.
  8. Click on the Status ICON
    • Under "Your computers Security"
      Click change status on Resident shield to inactive (ONLY consider activation of that feature once you are clean)
  9. Click on the Scanner ICON at the top of the window
  10. Click on the Settings tab then select Recommended Actions and choose Quarantine
  11. When updating has finished. Close AVG Anti-Spyware.



  12. We will be using this tool in a later step.




    Reboot your computer in Safe Mode.
    • If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power.
    • Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
    • Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
    • Ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
    • Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
    • Login on your usual account.
    ______________________________


    Close ALL open Windows / Programs / Folders. Please start AVG Anti-Spyware , and run a full scan:
    • Click on the default Status ICON and select the Scan now LINK.

      OR

    • Click on the Scanner ICON . Select the Scan TAB.

      • Select Complete System Scan. AVG Anti-Spyware will now begin to scan your system.

    • If AVG Anti-Spyware finds anything it will list them in the Preview WINDOW:
      • Make sure that Set all elements to: shows Quarantine, if not click on the link and choose Quarantine from the popup menu.
      • Select Apply all actions at the bottom of the window (and the items found will be quarantined – and recoverable, if any items are needed back).

    • When the scan has completed, click on the Save Scan Report button and save the scan to your Desktop where it can be easily found.
    • Copy and paste the AVG Anti-Spyware scan results into your next post.
    • Close AVG Anti-Spyware.



    REBOOT into NORMAL MODE.



    1. Download combofix.exe
    2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
    3. When finished, it will produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply (logfile is located at C:\ComboFix.txt).


    Note:
    Do not mouse click combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.


    Please provide:

    - a fresh HijackThis log
    - combofix log
