My PC is slowly grinding to a halt. A lot of programs dont seem to run (or is not responding)
I have downloaded other virus check software (my windows one care wont load). Although they downloaded OK I cannot seem to run them
also when i go into services, many of them have stopped i.e printer but get the Error 1053 message, again after reading the web I still cannot get it to work
I think i have a virus but can anyone reccommend one thatw ill actually start up?
Ta
Could be so many things!
My PC slowed down as the hard drive was on its way out.
If the virus killer didn't find anything, can you copy your files to external drive or usb and reinstall the Op.System?
If so make sure you have all the drivers to get online too.
You might not need to do this!
1st Go into task manager and see whats using the cpu?
what about going into your set up and start you pc from an earlier time/date .
worked for me
sofaking...how do i do that? i run vista
Download [url= http://www.malwarebytes.org/ ]Malwarebytes[/url], install, update, run it, save a log, let me know what it finds.

Exactly what he said...
Malwarebytes is the only software I trust to get rid of infections on my computer, having tried so many others and nearly lost a computer because of a really nasty Trojan!

I have downloaded this earlier, problem is I cannot get it to run, I click on it and nothing happens....This happens to all the anti virus programs i have downloaded...
EDit: windows explorer is now "not responding" any other way I can open it?
Rename it from MBAM to something else and try again?
... if that doesn't work, run [url= http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.exe ]rkill[/url] first. If rkill won't run either, try this [url= http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/iExplore.exe ]alternate version[/url] here - it's the same file renamed.
I got this from Rkill:
This log file is located at C:\rkill.log.
Please post this only if requested to by the person helping you.
Otherwise you can close this log when you wish.
Ran as admin on 29/07/2010 at 20:35:33.
Processes terminated by Rkill or while it was running:
C:\Users\admin\Desktop\iExplore.exe
Rkill completed on 29/07/2010 at 20:35:36.
Hm.
Will MBAM run now? Like I say, you might have to rename the file first.
Ah - it terminated itself. It does that, no worries.
THis was the log... it found 25 on the quick scan......

That was done on a fast scan... However when I do a full scan the program stops responding..
Right. That could be worse.
Reboot, then run it again in full mode.
Once we've got this cleaned, we need to look at patching. You want SP2 for Vista as a bare minimum, ideally you need to be running Windows Update until it stops updating.
its now scanning 20 mins and counting..
Yeah, it'll take a while. Should've thought, it'd have been quicker if we'd done a temp file cleanup first, bit late now. Ho hum.
Scan is done.... no further viruses found..
So what do i do now.

Cool.
Right. Download and run [url= http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/download/187-tfc-temp-file-cleaner-by-oldtimer/ ]TFC[/url].
Run Windows Update, apply all the patches it gives you. SP2 for Vista should be a priority.
Get [url= http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ ]Secunia PSI[/url]. This will scan for software which has updates available other than Windows itself. Prioritise Adobe updates, old Flash etc are common points of entry for malware.
What are you running currently in the way of Antivirus?
Oh,
Go into Uninstall Programs (or whatever it's called in Vista, can't remember exactly). Uninstall anything you're not using, specifically IE toolbars and crap that's got installed with other things along the way.
What computer is it?
Could possibly have a back up partition on the hard drive.
Back up your files and start a fresh. Then sort a proper anti virus.
All these programs that everyone suggests don't do the job properly and eat resources.
Also try to scan in Safe Mode.
All these programs that everyone suggests don't do the job properly and eat resources.
Only if you don't know what you're doing.
Hey Cougar, I clicked on your TFC link but what exactly do I download?
also I tried to load service pack 2 but it wouldnt install.
also tried windows update but when i click on it nothing happens...like alot of the other programs...
Ah, looks like they've updated the website and changed the links, sorry. Try [url= http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/187-tfc-temp-file-cleaner-by-oldtimer/ ]this[/url]
When you say SP2 won't install, what exactly happens?
Ignore the other patch stuff I suggested for now, we need to make sure it's clean first.
