Hi everyone. Just wanted to say first off, I love this forum. Every thread has responses and no one gets overlooked. This will be a permanent stop for me on my internet travels, regardless if I have computer problems or not. Anyway...down to business.

I have a decent computer that I got last Christmas. But, now lately, I've been having terrible game performance. Most notably is the MMO City of Heroes. I use to play the game on my last computer, which was far inferior. And this rig should eat through it no problem. But, it appears I have tons of processes running all at once, and it's killing my game. I have run a HiJackThis scan and will post below. What I need is to figure out how to eliminate these damn processes from eating up my computer so my game time can be more enjoyable. I hope there is a solution to this rather than just manually shutting everything down every time I want to play. But, even then, there are still tons of things running and most I have no idea what they are.

Anyway...I'm getting too wordy. Here is my HiJackThis log. Thanks ahead of time!

Edit: I realize that Avira and AIM are currently running. Obviously my anti-virus and a chat program I was running while typing this up. Anyway...back to our regularly scheduled program.

Well nothing obvious stands out for Malware, and I don't like how some vendors launch their stuff permanently out of the %temp% folder but seems to be legit.

You appear to have more than one Anti-Virus program running which can cause conflicts. Make sure you FULLY remove all but your chosen Anti-Virus software.

I'll leave you with this information which can help you to tighten up your system a little more to squeeze out some performance. If you're still having issues after reviewing all of this please let us know.

Computer and browser slowness are not always malware related

Poor performance and other problems can be the result of disk fragmentation, disk errors, corrupt system files, too many startup programs, unnecessary services running, not enough RAM, dirty hardware, etc. As your system gets older it becomes filled with more files/programs and has a natural tendency to slow down so cleaning and regular maintenance is essential.

Listed below are a few things you can do to improve speed and system performance. Many of the these suggestions will apply if you're using Windows Vista but may be done a bit differently. Near the bottom of this thread there is a section specifically devoted to Vista Users.

For browser problems, see:

If your having connectivity issues or errors such as Page cannot be displayed see

If you're using Vista or Internet Explorer 7, see

If you have a lot of toolbars and add-ons attached to Internet Explorer, you could try improving performance by disabling those which are unecessary. See:

Thanks for the response. From all you gave me, the SpyBot SD seems like it could be most helpful. Sort out everything on startup. All the other stuff I have done from the uninstalling old stuff and cache clearing and defragging. The only other thing was, I noticed in the first log you had me run, remnants of old programs I don't have anymore remain. The BitDefender and Spyware Doctor were uninstalled and I don't use them anymore. However, I don't see them in the control panel "Add/Remove" programs list. Any idea on how I might get rid of those for good? Thanks

You can try this and see.

  1. Click on the Start menu.

  2. Select Run...

  3. Type wbemtest and click OK

  4. Click Connect

  5. Type (or copy/paste) root/SecurityCenter in the NameSpace box

  6. Click Connect

  7. Click on Query

  8. Type in or copy / paste
    SELECT * FROM AntiVirusProduct

Thank you for being so patient. I've done as you suggested and I came up with three results. One obviously being the Avira that I want to keep. There are two others. But, I can't identify which is which. They all look the same to me. Any ideas on how I can tell which from which? I promise this will be the last I bug you tonight. Thanks so much.
