    Opera 11: Just tried this. Unfortunately I can't use Roboform with it.

    I would stay clear from any registry editing tools. AVG is great (although it slows down your PC DRAMATICALLY when it scans). Keep it up to date and scan regularly (every week).

    The main thing people neglect to do is take care on the web, this includes reading email from your webmail. SPAM emails can cause downloads of mailicious software.

    Most new PCS come with a free trial of some sort of Anti Virus, if you choose to get something else as a replacement you will need to remove it first.

    At first glance I dont see anything nasty
    Main thing is this -
    O23 - Service: Kerio Personal Firewall 4 (KPF4) - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Kerio\Personal Firewall 4\kpf4ss.exe (file missing)
    Id recommend installing kerio
    reboot
    uninstall kerio and scan with hijack again to see if its gone
    (Make sure windows firewall is switched on when its uninstalled)

    Please run COMBOFIX
    http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
    Shut down your anti virus
    Follow the simple instructions it gives
    Post the COMPLETE log it creates here (Split into sections if need be) ~ if there are loads of 'SNAPSHOT' pages then leave them out
    If it comes up with a RENAMING error then RIGHT click the exe file and RENAME and call it QWERTY (Making the complete file name 'QWERTY.exe') Or SAVE as 'QWERTY' on download
    (If no log comes up or you lose it, COMBOFIX.TXT can be found in C drive)

    Hello

    I haven't used my desktop for a while and noticed it's quite slow. I had a bad experience with a virus some time ago so as a result seemed to have installed every virus checker/spyware etc on it.

    I think it's slowing down my PC, so if someone can tell me what I should uninstall, I'd be grateful.

    I have:
    AVG ver8.5
    Avira AntiVir
    Sygate firewall
    Spybot
    Spyware Blaster
    Spyware Guard
    Spyware Doctor
    Super AntiSpyware
    LavaSoft.

    Thank you.

    Get rid of all of them and just install Microsoft Security Essentials Get it here

    I really don't like Microsoft hence me moving over to the 'macside' but this is a very good piece of kit for home users and all you need.
