Thanks in advance

 

Could'nt see too much wrong with your log. I would try an online scan with nod32 here: http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/index.php

Secondly AVG isn't the best software so try avast free edition here: http://www.avast.com/eng/home-registration.php

Also download counterspy v2 free trial for 15 days. http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Home-Home-Office/Anti-Spyware/Download/

If you like the nod32 scanner you could also try the full program here:http://www.nod32.com.au/download/trial.html

Once that's sorted get CCleaner to speed up your system by cleaning your harddrive and fix registry errors.
The middle option is the best package.ESET NOD32 Antivirus v3.0

 

thanks

Ive got cc cleaner and Iam giving the rest a shot

 

Try this also

10. Next you can do a quick Spyware Audit which won’t actually install any program but just check the system for infection to see where we are in the fight against Spyware/Viruses

a. Go here and follow the prompts. If you have no internet, skip this step.
http://www.webroot.com/services/entaudit/auditbegin.php
b. Click on the link and save the file to your “Desktop”
c. Run the file and wait for all 5 steps to finish
d. View the displayed results. If your system only shows cookies then you’re OK. If your system has any other one of three groups then more work needs to be done.

 

Thanks

sorry it took me so long to reply.

I did the web root scan and it only found cockies

I used msconfig to reduce my running processes from 40ish (i have no idea how it got so high)
While I was in task manger I looked at my cpu usage I saw that at idle it was between 10% and 40%. so then I got on the internet so I could research my problem and I saw that when I was on the internet my cpu usage went back dowm between 0 and 4%

I though it was wierd that my cpu usage would drop while on the internet so after seaching on google i got off the intertnet and watched to see If my cpu usage would go back up and sure enough every time I get on the internet my cpu usege goes back to normal and as soon as I exit the internet the cpu useage jumps way back up to about 40% or higher.


EDIT: This time when I exited the internet the cpu usage stayed normal and did not spike back up

Any thoughts?

 

I would remove that party poker and anything associated with it for starters located at No. 9. That may be your problem.

 

Assuming all's ok there's only a few things that i can think of
defrag in safe mode,make sure to turn off pagefile before hand that goes for hybernation,the link below is for a free defrag utility,normally i would'nt bother with 3rd party defragers,however it's unbelievably fast makes me wonder what microsoft were playing at with theirs

http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag

Ok so if that don't work you could try a 2nd hdd & put you pagefile on that,what about your amount of ram & your hdd speed,your hdd ain't 5400rpm is it,there's your prob


So none of that works either eh,only one option left,reformat,all windows OS's have a shelf life,xp's around 9 months if your lucky,the more install uninstall you do the more often a reform is needed,to make things quicker get a copy of ghost12 or acroins 10 or above,you can create images files of your drive to DVD or a complete clone,if money's an object then xxclone,it's free it's also open source,unfortunately it can only clone drives & not image them

Whenever doing a clean install always load your most used programs first before heading to windows update,if you want download SP3 & burn it to rom,it'll save a lot of time as it's cumulitive & will have most of the updates needed for xp (in other words it's SP1 & 2 combined plus extra)


EDIT:Best time to clone or image is after reinstall with a few minimal programs installed,also forgot to mention when using the "make images" you don't need system no restore turned on.To copy 100gb of data takes about an hour so recovery is around 1hour to get backup & running with a fully update operational OS if you ever get infected

 

@scorpNZ,

I don’t know what you’re using to clone with, but I use Acronis True Image and it only takes me 4 minutes, tops, to Clone or Recover my entire 160GB HDD….. : P

 

I have acronis 9 ,ghost 03 & 12.

Thank god cows can't fly..lmao..

 

That's the problem, Acronis is up to 11 now.

And, never goose a ghost, you'll get a handfull of SHEET

 

Thanks for all the info. I think the problems is windows shelf life. thats what I was thinking from the get go, but I just did not want to bite the bullet.

I have only messing with pcs for a little over a year but the guy that helped me build my pc said that games currupt your OS. Could someone give me more more info on OS shelf life?

I have a 720 rpn hd and 2gb of ram

I have what I guess is a stupid question. I have 2 hds If I install windows on my c drive. Do I need to do anything with my d drive, or can I install window on c and leave d alone? I would like to keep what I have on my d drive. I use newsgroups and I download a lot of stuff to bolth my c and d drive.

Thanks so much I have learned so much on this site.

 

sorry meant to say 7200 rpm.


I usaly do keep games and other important info on my d drive, but I did not know if just reformatting the c drive was good enough or if I should do somthing with the d drives as well

thanks

 

Would pay to backup anything you need in case of hdd failure,noth'n worse than loose'n all those downloaded mp3's & having to re-download em

 

My PCs always start out blazing when they have a clean slate, but then they start to slow down as a load junk on them. I normally have to reformat the OS hard drive about once every 1 1/2 to 2 years. Also, we have a perceived feeling of systems slowing down. Just like if you have a fast car...you get used to it after a while...

 

Wheelstb,

Un-install your AVG8 and install Avira AntiVir, if that don’t help speed you up then, re-install AVG8.

I have found that all the checking being done by AVG8 tends to slow down most computers.

And, it can’t hurt to try…


2OG

 

I did try removing avg but it helped little if any.

I tried to reformat but after i choose to boot othe the cd and then windows starts inspecting my hardware config I get an error.

IThe first time I git this error I relised that I had a sata hd controller that I used to flash my xbox 360 that was in my pci e slot but serving no perpose. Stupidly I just opened my case and unplugged the card. I did not go into the device manager and unistall it first. Could this be my problem? If so is there anything i can do besides plugging it back in and using the device manager to propperly uninstall.

I ask because I use a wheelchair and it would be hard for me to get down to the level I would need to be at to plug in the card.

thanks again
