computer slow and takes ages to start up
I have had alot of problems over past two years with spyware and have done more harm than good trying to sort my computer with antispyware

I also find my computer is going slowly and takes ages to start up. I need advice on which antivirus and which antispyware to keep and which to get rid of to stop myself getting further spyware problems. i have to get assistance from DELL to reinstall windows XP twice..and don't want to have to do it again

Before my flower desktop comes up i get a pink screen and same when computer is shutting down..most scary a few times after my computer shuts down i get the blue screen about dumping physical memory etc[think its blue screen of death]

Thank you all very much

slow startup
Hello geraldine. I can't help you with hjt log that will have to be left to the experts but I would suggest you download startup inspector my machine was running slow until I discovered that there were twenty to thirty programs coming on at startup I have now got it down to nine.

Hello 07clarkm. Would the restriction of unwanted startup program impede the hjt log results.

There are over a dozen unnecessary programs loading during startup and running in the background.

There are 2 antivirus programs installed and running at the same time.

You don't need all those toolbars, and some of them can be problematic.

Hello Flavalee. I take it that the hjt log has been dealt with and now our friend can run start up inspector. Maybe you could advise Geraldine on what to remove ie what antivirus to remove and after clicking the consultation button in startup inspector she will greatly reduce all those startup programs.

I wouldn't recommend using Startup Inspector for editing the startup and services list. The recommended ways would be to do the following:

Start - Run - MSCONFIG - OK - "Startup"(tab).

This edits the startup list in the System Configuration Utility window. By unchecking an entry and then rebooting, this prevents it from loading and running.

This website is great for editing the SCU startup list:

http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.p...t=100&offset=0

Start - Run - SERVICES.MSC - OK.

This edits the startup list in the Services window. By changing the setting of an entry from Automatic to Manual, this prevents it from loading and running, unless it's needed.

This website is great for editing the Services list:

To flavallee
Is Geraldine running two antivirus?I thought i see only one
To Geraldine
I'm not an expert on HJT but you should definitely trim down your startup items.Firstly i think you should remove those Symantec files as i see no Symantec programs in your computer.You can download a removal tool from their website.then,as flavallee said,get rid of stuff like the quicktime,itunes and java startup files and the toolbars like yahoo and google desktop seach.Lastly try and run only one antispyware program and not two.(Though i'm not sure whether they can cause conflicts)Try all of this and see if it helps you.Oh yeah you can do all of this using the above post methods.lastly there's a program called startup list on the net which is free.Using this u can mod the startup list as well.(I forgot bout the website though.Google it)

These files are probably left over by the windows uninstaller when you uninstall Symantec stuff....Ok,i'll admit.I'm not too sure,but what i'm SURE of is when you install norton and do a HJT scan,a norton file and it's version will appear in the log.
