Tech Clinic / My Compaq runs slow & locks up

Guestolo,

I did everything you suggested on your last post. I re-installed AVG7 Grisoft. My lock ups have stopped and my speed has increased greatly. Even my email downloads are running super fast. Great work! Thanks so much. http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

Guestolo,

I followed your instructions, the "EVNTSVC.EXE" was not found on the task manager. In the add remove programs listing I found "REALONE PLAYER" and removed it. In windows the folder C:\Progra, Files\Comet was not present. Following are the Hijackthis and Panda reports:

Tech Clinic / My Compaq runs slow & locks up
« on: May 15, 2006, 12:53:10 PM »
Guestolo,

Following is the latest Hijack-this report, after running the Ad-Aware  and Spybot programs.
I have also noticed when I shut down my computer I get a "windows notification" titled "WND for RNAdmin" stating that this is not reponding Then I have to click "end task" to continue the shut down process.

I had been using Grisoft AVG untill a couple days ago when I got fed up with time it took to virus scan incomming emails, 10 emails took about 8 minutes.

Here is the report:

Guestolo,

Just ran Jotti's Online Malware scan, here's the results:

Service load:  0%        100%  
 
File:  abCD.exe  
Status:  MIGHT BE INFECTED/MALWARE (Sandbox emulation took a long time and/or runtime packers were found, this is suspicious. Normally programs aren't packed and don't force the sandbox into lengthy emulation. Do realize no scanner issued any warning, the file can very well be harmless. Caution is advised, however.)

Guestolo,

Sorry I have no idea what ABCD.EXE file is for.

I ran AVG and it found and removed another 296 objects.

I installed AVG in the two other personal computer I have here.

AVG looks great.

Guestolo,

I got to the bottom of my problem, evidently my computer does not like to have both a "dial-up" card and a "ethernet" card installed at the same time. I did another restore with only my "dial-up" card installed. Then I removed the "dial-up" in the device manager, shut down the computer and removed the 'dial-up" card and installed the "ethernet" card. After that both my internet and shut down problems went away. http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

About.blank has also disappeared and my computer speed has increased.

I downloaded and installed the "AVG" you suggested.

Again thanks for your expert help.

guestolo,

I followed your last instructions.

I am still not able to get on the internet with the computer we are troubleshooting. I get a "cannot find server" error whenever I try to open my internet explorer. I have reinstalled my ethernet PCI card and the device manager says its installed and working. When I check my network configuration tcp/ip>netgear pci adapter is shown. When I check my IP configuration it shows an ip address for my PCI adapter of 169.254.54.213 I don't believe this address is correct. I have a DSL connection with a Zoom modem and a linsys wireless router. I am direct wired from the router to the computer I am having trouble with. I have two other computers a notebook and another desk top with wireless conections to the router, both of the other computers can access the internet through the wireless router.

I still cannot shut down or restart my computer normally, it stalls and has to be shut down using the power button.

I plan on installing the AVG program you suggested as soon as I can get back on to the internet.

Buster came up clean and here is the most recent hijackthis log:

guestolo,

I started to carryout the instructions you sent me and ran in to some problems. I downloaded the softwares and restarted in safe mode. I went to the task manager to look for the programs you listed but none of  those were running. I then found all the dll and exe files you listed and deleted them. Idid another scan with hijackthis and found that all the R0 items had a file jpwmo.dll instead of the kylww.dll listed in the previous log and so I did not "fix check" them but did "fix check the renaining ones.Still in safe mode I ran "about:buster" saved the log and exit.

I ran CWSSchredder and used the fix button.

Then I rebooted in normal mode and in the process recieved an error "While initializing device IOS" "error:real mode memeroy allocation failed". I had that happen to me one time in the past and the manufacturer directed to do a "system files restore", which cleared the error. I repeated this restore operation, and the error cleared and I was able to restart in normal mode.

Once rebooted I ran another about:buster log.

I ran Hoster and restored the original hosts.

I reset the web settings as you directed.

I found the shell.dll file it was in my system folder.

When shut down and restarted my computer, I was unable to access the internet. So I decided to re-install my PCI card and dsl modem, but this has not resolved my problem. I am posting to you from another computer which has internet access. Another problem also developed in that when I do a normal shut down, the shut down starts normally but then freezes when it gets to the windows "shutting down screen" and then the only way I could finish the shut down process is to hold the power button in for 5 seconds.

Here is latest hijackthis log and the safe mode and normal mode about:buster logs:

Here is my hijackthis log. Running adware in safe mode seams to work. There is no longer a long delay when opening my control panel. However about.blank is still a problem.

Hi Heddalora,
I did what you suggested, I downloaded Adware and ran it on my computer. On the first scan it identified 290 objects, I went through the removal process and adware performed a quaratine of the objects then preceeded to delete them. the deletion process seem to freeze before completing and the deletion process bar remained on my screen untill I closed the application. I decided to re-scan and found that the objects I thought were deleted were detected once again. Again I ran the deletion and again it seem to freeze before completing. A third scan produced the same results. Can you suggest what could be going wrong. Thanks for your help.

I am having a couple of problems with my computer, I believe it is infected. Everytime I open my internet explorer I get a page entitled "about.blank". When I try to open my "contrl panel" it takes as long as "60 seconds" and when I change my home page back to its original setting under "internet options" it will only work once when "about.blank" reapears. I have read some of your posting and see that you usually start the remedy process by viewing a hijackthis log file. I have down loaded this program and my log file follows:
