hijack this

You have to be carefull what you mess with in Hijack this, your better off asking on a dedicated computer help site like MajorGeeks Support Forums - Powered by vBulletin

You have a bunch of crap installed (poker stars....)

Use spyware software to run a scan. "Spybot Search and Destroy" is good. Windows offers "Defender". Both are free.

Is your computer running slowly? with some of that poker junk on there no wonder. Uninstall anything you don't need - not by deleting the files, by uninstalling from control panel. Run the spyware scan, then a complete virus scan (pandasoftware, kaspersky offer free scans online).

msconfig is a great first step to keep the junk from loading. gl.

Windows Process Library
You can use this to find out what each process does, I find it handy for anything I don't recognise and have used it for a while now.

I know exactly what you mean. I ran Hijack This and came up with a couple hundred things. But the programmers warn you can screw-up the computer deleting the wrong things. So I left it alone. One good move is to run msconfig, go to start-up, and uncheck everything you don't need to run right away at start-up. All those programs are gonna run when you choose them anyway.

I find Spybot to be a great help as it enables you to choose what starts up when you switch on your PC and it has an immunize feature for "bad products".
Also AVG free is pretty good for scanning for trojans and viruses.

ILL SAY IT AGAIN!!!!

post your hijack log on a dedicated computer help forum. DO NOT GO DELETING RANDOM STUFF!!!

[smoking habit]

im not gona go deleting random stuff. Where did I once insinuate that i was going to do that? and I got you the first time dude... was just trying to avoid making another username on another site if i could, it's really not a huge priority to me atm, my computer is running fine, just a little slower than normal.

I assumed there were some tech junkies on thsi site, guess not.

thanks for the tips anyone who gave.

[babystarbud]

sorry if that came across wrong, but hijack logs can be quite difficult to deal with if you dont know what to look for...i delete stuff from my own sometimes but i wouldnt feel experienced enough to give others advice.....

Have you run through spybot s&d and AVG like others have suggested, and gone to add/remove progams to unintall anything you dont want and run MSCONFIG?

I think its safe to assume that "pokerstars" entry can go tho

[slipknotpsycho]

dude, open ms config and take a screen shot.... also tell me your sound card, video card, and any programs you don't use atleast 2-3 times a day...

i'll show you exactly what to check off.... btw, with msconfig you have nothing to be scared of.... you're not deleting anything, you're just disabling it... which is why i use msconfig, if i later found otu i shouldn't have take that out, i just open up the prompt again and re-add it.
