Periodic virus scans using Norton have found no problems. Spybot the same thing. Computer getting slower and slower. Takes 20 minutes to boot with lots of hard drive I/O activity. Did a Kaspersky scan and found 25 viruses in 57 infected locations. Firewall is ZoneAlarm.

Installed and ran latest HJT producing the following log:

Kaspersky log puts me over the max for this log.
I'll send separately if requested.
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.

All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

Your HJT log is also showing no malware. Kaspersky may be stuff in your Norton Quarantine or stuff that has been cleaned and is backed up in System Restore, but I will need a look at that log, split it if you have to.

I am going to suggest you look at this information:
http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/slowcomputer.html

and I bleieve you should run a free diagnostic here: http://www.pcpitstop.com/pcpitstop/

You must register (free) to be able to post a link where I can view your test results, we may learn something here.

Post the Kaspersky scan results and the link to the test results when you have it.

You mention Zone Alarm, is it alerting you to any unusual activity?

Thanks
 
Looking for that old performance

Thanks for getting back.
I have not noticed any unusal activity with Zone Alarm or Norton. Monthly full system scans with Norton report no problems. Weekly scans with Spybot S&D usually produce a list of 1 to 5 issues which I always remove. Performance degregation accompanied by frequesnt I/O activity to the hard drive tells me something isn't right. I have never had to wait on this machine before but find that becoming a way of life.
Have duly noted the disclaimer about advice given and understand everything has its risks.
Thanks also for the reference material on things that can slow down performance other than viruses, malware, etc. Good information to keep on hand.
Ok to start making some changes or do you prefer I keep the configuration the same while we investigate the problem?
The PC Pitstop scan results are posted on "Discuss your Results" forum, Subject," Looking for that old Performance" which contains the following link

Hi Keith, use the information from the scan right away, I was looking for problems with the Hard Drive and while they are minor, they are there:
Disk Tips
• Clean up disk space (Drive C)
• Defragment files (Drive C)
• Reduce System Restore space (Drive C)

Internet Tips
• Adjust IE browser cache size
• Adjust Receive Buffer Size (suggestion)

Security is a red flag and should be addressed right away:
• Check IE Restricted Sites zone
Your current Internet Explorer settings for the Restricted Sites security zone could expose your PC to intrusion. We recommend that you disable all scripting, ActiveX controls, and cookies for the Restricted Sites zone

Kaspersky Scan results:
Number of infected objects: 57

Delete these files as infected:
C:\Documents and Settings\Keith\Local Settings\Temp\NeroDemo11606\Toolbar.exe Infected: not-a-virus:AdTool.Win32.MyWebSearch skipped
C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero-7.5.9.0A_eng.exe/Toolbar.exe Infected: not-a-virus:AdTool.Win32.MyWebSearch skipped
C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero-7.5.9.0A_eng.exe RAR: infected - 1 skipped

It appears all the rest are in System Restore, restart the computer after you delete the infected files and then use this information to purge your System Restore:
System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/mcgill1.mspx

Once that is done, reboot and run another Kaspersky scan to make sure it is clean.
I'll post this information for you, if you have questions or I can do more, let me know.

Here is some great information from experts in this field that will help you stay clean and safe online.

Phil,
Following is the Kaspersky scan after completing most of your instructions. I will do the clean-up and defrag.

Perhaps you can suggest where the one remaining virus might be from this report. I thought suspected areas were highlighted in the last report. What are the risks of deleting all the Temp files?
If add ware, malware, or viruses are not the problem it seems that only leaves hardware (or settings) as the source of my continuing performance problem.
I have yet to check out all the web sites to which you referred me for further info.
Thanks again for helping get this far.
 
Morning Keith:)

You have one infected adware file in your System Restore, you can clean that when you are ready with this information:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/mcgill1.mspx
Which I posted for you before. Let me know if I can do anything else.

Thanks...Phil
 
I'll repeat the process

Thanks for pointing it out.
I followed the process for clearing system restore including reducing the amount of reserve space.
I'll repeat it one more time and do another Kaspersky scan. I think I know what to look for now.
Appreciate your help. You folks are great!
