Slooow Internet Connection

My broadband internet connection has gradually slowed up, and is crawling along (in terms of when I started with broadband 18 months ago). I run AVG Anti Virus every day, I've just checked with Stinger for Trojans, etc., and I have Zone Alarm Firewall running in the background. So I'm pretty sure that it is not avirus attack.

My ISP is Pipex, which has been pretty reasonable over the past year. Computer- Athlon 2000, 512mb RAM.

Any suggestions most appreciated.

Hi Tosh,

There is lots of junk that accumulates on a computer over time. Let's start by getting rid of some of it.

Click Start | Settings | Control Panel | Internet Options. Click on Delete files and check the box marked Delete all offline Content. When that's done, click on Clear History.

The next one to clear is the Cookies file. First though, make sure that you have all your passwords written down for forums such as this.. or check to see that you still have the confirmation e-mails for them.

Once you're happy that you won't have to re-register to all these sites, then click on Delete Cookies.

If you haven't ever cleaned these out before, and you say the PC is 18 months old, you could have literally 10's of thousands of files here, and just getting rid of those could speed up the PC no end.

Try that first.. see if it makes a difference.. if not, then please download 'Hijack This!' from here, unzip, and place it in it’s own folder, (not in the temp folder, or on the desktop) doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan". When the scan is finished, click "Save Log", and copy and paste it in a reply.

This will give us a rundown of what’s going on in your PC. One of us here will be glad to analyse it for you. Don’t fix anything yourself yet, as a lot of the stuff on that list will be harmless or required.

Cheers

Liam

Thanks, E-Liam. I've got as far as clear cookies- where do I view them, to see what I'm going to cancel?

Thanks,

Tosh

Ten minutes later- Oops, I've found the cookies, and deleted them! Now, how about deleting the Temporary Internet Files- would that help?

I'm going to download Hijack This now.

Thanks again.

Ten minutes later again- Ive tried to include the log from Hijack This, but the administrator has not allowed it- too many images or something similar?! I'll try to get through on a Private Message.

Click 'Disable Smilies in This Post' under where you write the message... should do the trick so you can post the log.

Hi Tosh,

I've answered your PM, and.. as mentioned, I'll check more thoroughly in the morning.

Sleep beckons..

Cheers

Hi Tosh,

It's looking promising so far. Could you please post up a new HJT log, and we'll see if anything's left that needs getting rid of.

Cheers

Liam

Hi Tosh,

Sorry about the delay in getting abck to you.. I saw the reply last night, but had one too many sweet sherries, to actually do anything about it.. :D

The first thing you need to do, is to place Hijack This in it’s own folder (e.g. C:\HJT\….) so it can generate backup files to the same folder; needed should an entry be accidentally deleted. Then please run a new HJT! Scan, and check to fix the following entries, being sure to double check that you haven't missed any. Next, close all browser windows and click the Fix checked button…

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about :blank

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about :blank

O4 - Startup: ~$Sticky.doc

O4 - Startup: Sticky.doc

O4 - Global Startup: ~WRL1387.tmp

O4 - Global Startup: ~WRL2816.tmp

O4 - Global Startup: ~WRL3239.tmp

O4 - Global Startup: ~WRL3878.tmp


Then boot into safe mode, (see here for info if needed) and delete the entire contents of the C:\Windows\Temp (or C:\WINNT\Temp) folder, but not the folder itself.

Then please boot back into normal mode and download AdAware SE from here.

First, in the main window, look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now and download the latest reference files.

Next, we need to configure Ad-aware for a full scan.

Click on the Gear icon (second from the left) to access the preferences/settings window

1. In the General window make sure the following are selected:
· Automatically save log-file
· Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal
· Safe Mode (always request confirmation)

2. Click on the Scanning button on the left and select :
· Scan Within Archives
· Scan Active Processes
· Scan Registry
· Deep Scan Registry
· Scan my IE favorites for banned URL’s
· Scan my Hosts file

· Under Click here to select drives + folders, choose:
· All of your hard drives | Proceed

3. Click on the Advanced button on the left and select:
· Include additional process information
· Include additional file information
· Include environment information

4. Click the Tweak button and select:
· Under the Scanning Engine:
· Unload recognized processes & modules during scan
· Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile
· Under the Cleaning Engine:
· Let Windows remove files in use at next reboot

5. Click on Proceed to save the settings.

6. Click Start and on the next screen choose:
· Use Custom Scanning Options

7. Click Next and Ad-aware will scan your hard drive(s) with the options you have selected.

When finished, mark everything for removal and get rid of it. (Right-click the window and choose Select All from the drop down menu and click Next).

Next, please reboot again and download Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 from here: if you haven't already got the program.

Click on Updates | Download Updates, and follow the prompts.

Next, close all Internet Explorer windows, and click Check for Problems. Once the scan is complete, have SpyBot remove all it finds marked in RED.

Next reboot and go here, and run the online virus scan; choosing the Autoclean option just before clicking the Scan button. Then please post a new log for a final once over.

Cheers

Liam
