Hello, lzr84
Ok lets make a start, first of do you know this IP Address?
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{7A404512-A9F5-4F02-BA2E-5F54D72E9164}: NameServer = 192.168.1.254
Also you ewido is out of date.. uninstall the old and download the new one ..
as ewido anti-spyware 4.0 is now known as AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5
C:\Program Files\ewido anti-spyware 4.0\guard.exe
You could have HjT fix these close all open windows except Hjt
Open HijackThis,and scan with it. Check the box next to these
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {2318C2B1-4965-11d4-9B18-009027A5CD4F} - (no file)
Click 'Fix Checked'. Then reboot rescan with HjT
then post a fresh logfile...

For the IP Address, i don't think i know it?? Anyway it is mine or not, i also not sure....
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{7A404512-A9F5-4F02-BA2E-5F54D72E9164}: NameServer = 192.168.1.254
Thank for the help numbnuts.
I wish to add on... when i restart, my com load very slow when opening the HjList... when finish scaning, i delete away this C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\NMIndexStoreSvr.exe, then my computer is slightly faster..
Hello, again lzr84 :)
192.168.1.254 is a private address, so we are guessing you have a router or is at least connected to some kind of network?
Is your problem just a slow computer? Or is it slow at specific parts? (E.g. just browsing). How much RAM do you have on that computer?
Since you have removed a file related to Nero and it seemed to make a difference, you could have HjT fix this..
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NeroFilterCheck] C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\NeroCheck.exe
If it is a slow browsing issue, maybe it's worth testing a ping to a site.
Click Start > Run > type in cmd.exe and hit 'OK'. A command prompt window will appear.
Simply type this in bold.
ping google.com>>C:\ping.txt
It will export the results to a text file called ping.txt in C:\. Locate it and post the results here.

Yes i do have a router on my computer.
My RAM is 256.. but previously i do not have this kind of problem.. example like the HjT: when restart the computer, i click on the HjT icon and scan it, all this take about 2-3 mins to finish everything.. same as when i clicking others programs... so i try to delete some which i also don't know what processes are running, then i feel it is better..
Could it be spyware or adware??
For the O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NeroFilterCheck] C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\NeroCheck.exe
i dun think com slow down because of Nero, because my Nero was installed long ago which nothing has happen.
You haven't got a lot of memory on that computer I would suggest, downloading and.
Running Ccleaner then doing a Defragment of your hard drive.
CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/)
(Note in CCleaner: go to >options > advanced > Uncheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours").
How to Defragment your Hard Drive (Windows XP)
http://helpdesk.its.uiowa.edu/windows/instructions/defrag.htm
Also when you downloaded AVG anti spyware and run it did it find anything if so what?
If anything was found what was the result?
Then you might want to run this scan and see what sort of memory you can upgrade to windows XP needs now a basic of 256 MB just to load never mind running other applications..

:lol: Hi :
Your Sun Java is one "Update" behind and recently on this Forum there was a
"News Item" about this; would encourage you to read :
www.landzdown.com/index.php?topic=17957.0 .
Hi sorry to reply late.
For the AVG anti spyware, it did not found anything.
I defragment my hard drive and running the Ccleaner.. then i go and restart.. it still the same...
anyway what program is it running for this? C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\NMIndexStoreSvr.exe
and can i stop it running on the process?? cos i only delete that and everything i think went back to normal...
i found the taskmanger the svchost.exe, there are five the same names appear in the taskmanger.. any chance there is something wrong??
Hi, lzr84.
Please note that in checking your ISP, it appears that there is outage on that end. Thus, that may be affecting your internet connection.
With regard to out-of-date software on your computer, I advise you to use the Secunia Software Inspector at http://secunia.com/software_inspector/
The Secunia Software Inspector:
- Detects insecure versions of applications installed
- Verifies that all Microsoft patches are applied
- Assists you in updating your system and applications
- Runs through your browser. No installation or download is required.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This explains svchost.exe. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/314056
QuoteThe Svchost.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services part of the registry to construct a list of services that it must load. Multiple instances of Svchost.exe can run at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services. Therefore, separate services can run, depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started.
NMIndexStoreSvr.exe is part of Nero Scout that comes with Nero CD/DVD Burning 7. I will provide you with two methods. The first is with WinPatrol, the second is manual. Please review both and decide how you wish to proceed. Personally, I prefer WinPatrol.
WinPatrol to easily and safely control startup programs. There is a Plus (pay) version of WinPatrol. The standard version is free for personal use. Although there are quite a few language versions of WinPatrol, I can only provide instructions in English.
- Download WinPatrol from http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html
- After installing WinPatrol, double-click on the Scotty dog icon in the task bar
- Select Startup Programs
- After the list populates, locate the Nero NMIndexStore entry and select "Remove"
The Remove button will not delete any programs from your hard drive. Instead it will remove only the entry for that program in the Startup Programs list, preventing the program from restarting every time your system does. If the program is currently running, the Remove button will also allow you to shut down it down.
- Approve the prompt(s) and you are done.

To remove from startup with MsConfig:
- Press the Windows key and R at the same time (Or go to the "Start" menu and click on "Run")
- In the dialog box type "MsConfig" to bring up some built-in admin controls. (Be very careful to select only what is instructed as clicking the wrong selections can cause some fatal errors.)
- Choose the "startup" tab
- Locate nero scout/nmindexstoresvr.exe and untick the box next to it
- Click Apply/Ok
- Close and restart the computer
- At restart, you will be prompted with the message that MsConfig was used to change settings. Tick the box "Don't inform me again" and click ok.
