WIN 98 - RUNNING V E R Y S L O W..Hijack This log..please advise

It's taking a really long time to do anything...get into control panel, get into any programs, etc.

I ran Norton Anti Virus and it came up with three adware...bhW09.exe WiniFetch;
NPMYWAY.DLL .Mybar, and update.exe WinFetch. It couldn't delete them. This was after I had to remove and reinstall Norton AV because it couldn't locate Virus Definition files.

Here's my HJT log.

Please let me know what I should do. Thanks.

 

They still there. Download and run these programs:

CWShreder

Adaware SE (Update this program online)

I deleted a few things in the startup folder...one was that bhW09.exe. I wasn't too sure what needed to run, but I checked my system resources and it was up to 75% from 69% yesterday.

Let me know what I should do...thanks!

 

I do not feel that the following background programs are needed:

P2P NETWORKING
WinampAgent
SAgent2ExePath
PopUpStopperFreeEdition
nwiz
NvCplDaemon
Cmaudio

They may be available from the Start menu. or if you graphics may need a push, then you may be able to select nwiz and NvCplDaemon, only when needed. Deselect these programs throughout MsConfig and not throughout Hijackthis.

Throughout Hijackthis fix the following:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {C5183ABC-EB6E-4E05-B8C9-500A16B6CF94} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Bhwo9.exe] C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\BHWO9.EXE


How is the performance of the computer after all this?

To run that many programs in the background you may need to add RAM in your computer.

 

Seems to be running much better now. I deleted the 01-BHO item, but I couldn't find this one in the log. O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Bhwo9.exe] C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\BHWO9.EXE

Thanks very much for your help.

 

It is possible that was deleted by any of the utilities ran. You can manually check the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Run Regedit and navigate to this key by clicking on the +sign on each of the items above to make sure it was deleted from your registry. Highlight the key Run and check the right pane of the utility. If the value Bhwo9.exe exist, highlight the value and press Delete.
