what is my computer doing on start up?

[james76]

thats great thanks, should i go in safe mode now before the scan?

 

[apj101]

prob a good idea, since a lot of stuff wont let you delete in normal mode, be sure to print out the post as you may not be able to get online in sfe note unless you start it with networking

 

[james76]

i have just done it in normal mode,
than 1 minute later i had microsoft anti spyware notifying me that ctfmon.exe or whatever you said to fix added itself back to startup. should i just leave it?

 

[apj101]

yeah, it just belong to office, it not critical i just put it in there as a process of elimation. How is you boot time now?

 

[Buzz1927]

You got some spyware here.

Also, we can't see all your startup programs, you need to go to msconfig and check "normal startup".
Follow the steps in Byteman's sticky here, then reboot and post a new log.

Note: Messenger Plus adds the Lop.com spyware (if you select to add 3 party apps during the initial install of MESSenger Plus).

damn straight eluded to that in post 11, just couldn't remeber the name of the spyware

My first thought as well, tho I can't see any sign of it in the log. Wouldn't hurt to search for C2media tho.

It's still showing as restricted, Spybot maybe? Anyhow, I think the problem is down to malware, have you followed the steps in the sticky?

 

[jbrown456]

Remove That Darn Messenger Plus AND AND AND....LOP.com!!!!!

Note: Messenger Plus adds the Lop.com spyware (if you select to add 3 party apps during the initial install of MESSenger Plus).

I had messenger plus, it does add lop.com spyware (worst darn spyware i have ever had!), it wasn't wasy to remove (ya, you know, ya can't just uninstall messenger plus and it takes the spyware out for you!). Anyways that made my startup very slow too!

this also has some info on how to remove lop

You also may want to try any of this stuff too!

 

[james76]

can i just delete any unwanted stuff in the hijack this log when i scan?

 

[Buzz1927]

Don't delete anything before checking here first.

 

[james76]

so guys what you think? I really dont know mwhy my pc is slow in parts. I have no spyware or viruses or any programs that generate, my pc is fairly new, i have hardly any programs on start up (whats visible in the tray), i run disk degragmenter (certified by microsoft!) i always delete junk files. Maybe its because my music/ media files are so big? but when i think of friends who have tons of stuff on their pc's their start-ups are fine. oh deary me....

 

[Buzz1927]

Post a new Hijackthis log.

 

[james76]

i have posted one on normal start up already, see previous page.

 

[Buzz1927]

Ok, let's see if we can fix it as it is. Run Hijackthis, Check these entries
