Get rid of Zone Alarm. It's a once-great firewall product that has turned into a system hog. Grab COMODO or whatever Tarun's recommending this week

(Oh, if you copy/paste something and get GW skills in the middle of it, that's gwbbcode kicking in. Just add [pre][pre] and [/pre] [/pre] at either end of the offending phrase (you won't believe what a pain it was to format that sentence ><). I took the liberty for you )

Yeah the log is clean. A few little items can be removed and as Snograt has said, ditch ZoneAlarm for Comodo.

Lines to remove:

You can use my Anti-Malware Toolkit to get LSPFix and correct this entry:

Can't Windows Defender cause conflicts with other antivirus software?

It's a resource hog anyway, so it may be worth turning off/getting rid of.

LSPFix can correct the issue.

You can retry fixing those lines again. You may need to run as administrator for HJT.

Ok here is the latest one (with the lsp corrected thanks to your link and comodo installed =D) , also i tried to fix those lines u gave me several times (and it says its fixed it too) but they keep coming back after the restart =s

I highlighted the lines u told me to fix and also others that i think are odd =s maybe you can clarify those for me i think theyre just generic programs that came with my ASUS notebook but i am not sure =D

Windows Defender is blocking the HijackThis fixes.


Do not fix the O13; it's a legitimate Vista entry.

The O4 isn't doing anything bad-- it just checks for Java updates periodically.

The O2 can go-- it has no file attached (anymore), so it's just orphaned.

The O16 is related to FaceBook (online social network); if you don't use it, fix that line.

Regarding the first O23, it's legitimate; related to ATK_Hotkey.

We'll get rid of the Norton remnants in a bit.

The final O23 you bolded is:
"Related to Sony VAIO/ASUS laptops and provides additional configuration options for these devices."


With that said, run the Norton Removal Tool from -here-.


After that, please register (it's free, don't worry) with PCPitStop and run the full tests here. When the tests are complete, a results page will pop up. Click "Share these results with TechExpress" on the right-hand side. Then copy the URL provided and post it here for me.

<img src="http://i33.tinypic.com/2087fbb.jpg" width="1000" height="700">

Hi,

Yes please do the graphics driver update.

After that, please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune from here, and save it to your Desktop.

Double click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Check the boxes to the left of:

Windows Temp
Current User Temp
All Users Temp
Temporary Internet Files
Prefetch
Java Cache

The rest are optional - if you want to remove the whole lot, check Select All.
Finally click Empty Selected. When you get the "Done Cleaning" message, click OK.


Finally, restart your computer and see if you notice any performance gains; if not, please post a fresh HijackThis log and we will remove unnecessary programs from running on startup to free resources.

screen317,

Do NOT clean prefetch, ever!

Because you just made him clean out his prefetch he will now suffer a loss in performance.

To further validate my statement:

Those are all just a bunch of bad myths... Old prefetch files are automatically cleaned out by Windows.

Common myths addressed:Stop "optimizing" prefetch!

beserk,
You may want to run JavaRa to clean up any old Java leftovers.

Yeah you only want to keep the most recent version. JavaRa will help you get rid of the older ones.

Excuse me, don't turn something as small as clearing Prefetch files into an emergency.

After a couple of reboots, new Prefetch files will be in place; it is -not- the big deal you are making out of it.

Go read my links. I've provided proof from well known experts including Microsoft personnel as to why you never need to touch the prefetch and why "cleaning" it causes a performance hit.

The problem is that people fall for those common myths and misconceptions as fact. Cleaning prefetch was a huge myth and it does hurt performance and should never be done.
