My computer has recently been extremely slow and my antivirus software indicated that several Trojans were attemped to write to the registry that include:

Trojan.locksky, Spyware.Known_Bad_sites, Trojan.Virtumonde, Downloader.Small.DTC, Desktopscam, Trojan.CWS,

and several more. I tried to scan the computer with several other antispywares and none worked.

Can someone please help? Here's my Hijackthis log:

Hi,

I see you have Viewpoint installed...

Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". This will change from what we know in 2006 read this article: http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3561546

I suggest you remove the program now. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present.

  • Viewpoint
  • Viewpoint Manager
  • Viewpoint Media Player

Also, I see adwatch and Teatimer running at the same time. This is a bad idea because both are doing the same and may just interfere with eachother. That's why you should disable adwatch or teatimer.

Can you tell me what exact problems you're still having? Because I assume that the scanners removed what it found? The detections appear to be older malware and mainly leftovers. I don't see any active malware here, so I don't really think malware is your main problem though.

Did you purchase spyware doctor? reason I am asking is because I know it may cause a serious system slowdown.

Also read here: Help! My computer is slow!

Thank you Miekiemoes.

I have removed Viewpoint. And I did purchase Spyware Doctor. I hope it's not that program that's causing all the problems...

I think it was Spyware Doctor that first notified me that some program is trying to download 10+ spywares like I said above. I ran scan with Spyware doctor, spybot, avg, and adaware and only 3-4 problems were found. So I think it's quite possible that other programs were in fact slowing my computer down.

Also, the problem that I have is that the computer is extremely slow at the start of Windows XP (when the logo was shown on the screen) until 5-10 minutes after I log into my account. Then some program is always running my CPU usage to around 30-90%, which slows me down every action I do on my computer.

Hi,

Did you read the "Help, my computer is slow" link?

Then some program is always running my CPU usage to around 30-90%

You can see in the processes tab what program is causing this. But as I already explained, Spywaredoctor may indeed cause this slowdown.

If you google "spywaredoctor+slowdown", then you'l see this is a known issue.

But.. If you have read the Help! My computer is slow! link, then you would read there that having more than 1 antivirus is a bad idea. In your case you have Norton and AVG.

No wonder everything is a lot slower there.

My fault.

I was just a bit worried about the security of my antivirus firewall because I was a bit scared about the 10+ trojan downloads blocked.

I was not able to see all that's causing the cpu usage in the processes tab tough because it mostly shows that system idle process is running 90% while the cpu usage is 30%+. Also. I was noticed that the windows firewall was disabled while is was not.

I will go ahead and uninstall everything except norton and then restart my computer.

Thank you for your timely assistance.

Since there is no feedback anymore, I assume this issue is resolved ... so, this Topic is closed.

If you need this topic reopened for continuations of existing problems, please request this by sending me a PM with the address of the thread. This applies only to the original topic starter.

Everyone else please begin a New Topic.
