System startup utility

[24giovanni]

When I type msconfig to bring up system config utility, can some one tell me which entries I don't need under STARTUP

em_exec
cpqinet
cpqns
scanregistry
systemtray
ashmaisv
startoehooker
startlockspam
stillmagemonitor
schedulingagent
isdbdc
truevector
dkservice

I appreciate any help.

thanks

Now run this:


Follow these instructions carefully

Download ALL 4 programs and update them as soon as they are installed, this is very important, except for Hijackthis!.

Ad Aware SE Personal Free

Spybot Search and Destroy Free

MAS Beta

HijackThis Free

Ewido

Follow these steps

Delete the prefetch folder C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch, this folder will come back on next reboot.

Delete all cookies and temporary internet files in the control panel.

Go to Start, run, type msconfig, go to startup, disable everything except your antivirus, click apply, dont reboot yet.

Download Msconfig Cleanup below

Msconfig Cleanup Free

Run Msconfig Cleanup after you unchecked the items you were told to uncheck and recheck, click "Select All", then click "Clean up Selected", then click "Quit".

Now run each spyware program 1 by 1. Running all 3 at the same time will slow most systems down.

When each program has finished scanning, remove everything.

For Microsoft Antispy, after it has finished scanning, some items will/might be on ignore, you will need to select remove unless the program is valid such as VNC Viewer, etc.

Now go to the recycle bin and delete everything that is in it.

When finished with the scans, reboot, and go into Safe Mode and run these scans again, remove everything they find, and then reboot back into Windows in normal mode. You dont need to run Hijackthis! yet.

Then run HiJackthis!

Save the log, copy and paste the log on www.techist.com
Do not attach the log, copy and paste always. This will make things go much faster.

Hi, I did spybot s&d scan ad ad aware and deleted what I could. The microft one and ewido won't work on my computer cause it's windows 98. It's too old. I went into msconfig and unselected everything but my avast a/v. I then ran Msconfig Cleanup Free and when it opened there were no entries in there so it didn't work with my old computer.

I then went back in msconfig and noticed under startup the following list:

avast web scanner
firefox preloader
hp digital imaging monitor
m/s office startup
spywareguard
hp image zone fastfree

Where did everything else go? When I boot up in my system tray, I only see firefox preloader, spywareguard and printer. What happened? How do i get the other icons back in my system tray. Please help.

 

[24giovanni]

Under msconfig, under general, setup selections, it only takes normal startup and not selective startup. What do I need to do please?

 

[Osiris]

ok.post the log again....
