Happy New Year Folks.
My Girlfriend has a problem with her computer, bascially her teenage brother has moved in, and in the last 2 months she has noticed that her pc is very slow. She created him as a Limited User on Windows XP. Today when I looked at her PC, I have found and removed a few several adawares and 2 Trojans relating to the FAKEMSN messenger. I have downloaded and installed Zonealarm, and used AVG to find and remove several trojans.
I have also downloaded superantispyware, and used Cleanup,ATF and the new version of CCLEANER to recover 6GB of space and removed several toolbars and BHO's using SPYBOT 1.5, I have also prevented aot of programs from starting up.
Spybot and Kaspersky have come back with clean scans, but she still says that the computer is still slow when logged on to her account from what it was before her brother became a user. IE 7 pages are hanging and appears as not responding when other programs run.
She has a Pentium 3 with XP Home with SP2 and only 256mb of ram. I used PCPITSTOP to runs some scans but that ended up as not responding, as well as the scan of CRUCIAL. So I used CPU-Z to find the speed of her memory so I can now buy some more memory for her. So just on the safe side, I am posting a HJT log whilst logged in as her brother.
