PCTech Forums

I need help. For the past few months my pc has been gotten slower and slower ever since my little brother downloaded some dumb worm from Kazaa. I ran Ad-Aware, Xoftspy, Spybot search and destroy. As you can see this is my first post. I have tried about 3 different forums to see if anybody can help. The thing that seems to be affected the worst is my internet, but i hope to soon upgrade my pc so i can play Half-Life 2 and that will be pointless if i have somehting as slow as this.. i need to know if there is any program or way i can get rid of this. Will system restore work?

Hi Virtuson...
Download Hijackthis
---Important---Create a permanent folder
EG---- Open MyDocuments----Right click an empty spot and select NEW---Folder----Name the new folder HJT ---this is where you will want to save Hijackthis too, also, backups will be stored there.
Download from here

Do a SCAN----Scan will change to SAVE LOG----copy and paste the WHOLE contents of the log
here... Don't try and fix anything yet----most entries are harmless and needed.

Hi Virtuson

If you think you haven't gotten rid of the worm yet, you can try using before posting your logfile as suggested by Cactus
