Hi. I saw this site and looked like a great place for help in keeping your system 'clean'. Hello to ALL.

btw, my name is Adriana - live in NJ.

I am running XP Pro on T41 laptop and seems to be running quite slow lately. Have attached HiJackThis log. Can you advise how things look? Or what other info you may need.

Thank you, in advance for your time (I know its valuable).

Hi Adriana, Welcome to the forum

Your log is looking fine but its best to start with a online scan if you feel there maybe some malware problems then we can take it from there,

• Please go HERE and click Kaspersky Online Scanner
• Read and Accept the Agreement
• You will be promted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
• If you see a Windows dialog asking if you want to install this software, click the Install button.
• The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files,
• When the "Update progress" line changes to "Ready" and the "NEXT ->" button becomes available, please click on it.
• Click on the Scan Settings button, and in the next window select the Extended database, and click Ok.
• Under "Please select a target to scan:", click My Computer to start the scan.
• When the scan is finished, click the "Save as Text" button, and save the file as kavscan.txt to your Desktop, close the Kaspersky On-line Scanner window.

Please then post back the Kaspersky log

Thanks

Andy
