in Techie Stuff
Basically, I'm using Advanced SystemCare 4, and while scanning for malware, at the bottom it states all the places it is scanning at the time and then I have things like this:
Trojan.Win32/Agent
or
Worm.Agent
Does that mean I have a trojan and a worm!?
The Advanced System Care doesn't pick up any problems........
Please can someone tell me about this and what to do. I've got ZoneAlarm, Avast, Malwarebytes.
Nothing is picking up a problem but my computer has been sooooo slow beyond belief (40seconds to open a page up) and I can't figure out why - nothing has been downloaded..
Although I went on a website and it changed to that 'windows security' scanning page, which is a known virus, but I didn't do anything with it, just closed it.........
Thanks in Advance

Please open malwarebytes, goto LOGS and post the WHOLE of the last log
reboot
Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)
If you get a message that you cant write to the hosts file then Press the SHIFT key, and whilst holding it RIGHT CLICK and select RUN AS (admin):idea:0 -
Do follow alienRIK's advise above.
If we're talking about the same thing, that may be just the program telling you what it's looking for - norton antivirus used to do that and confused me too (although I can't comment specifically about SystemCare).0 -
uninstall zonealarm.
how much ram is installed, which operating system!!
> . !!!! ----> .0 -
Thank you - I'm just running a check on the Malwarebytes. I was using the programs to check, but I didn't use Malwarebytes oops.
I've downloaded HiJack This too, so when I've finished, I'll put it on - thank you again!
Which firewall do you recommend? A free one please xxx:beer: Thank you to everyone! :beer:

installed ram and commit charge figures from task manager, performance?
Do you need sage/barclays stuff running at startup? your service pack is out of date
The best way of cleaning up a slow or badly infected machine is to backup all your data to an external drive, and do a factory restore using the factory restore partition (see manual or manufacturers website) or Windows disc. The alternative is to do it manually :-
This is a general guide on cleaning up infections and speeding up pc's https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2436849
If you haven't all ready done it, Install Malwarebytes and do a FULL (not quick) scan (after updating it), fix anything found before closing, otherwise you'll have to do it all over again. If anything was found reboot the machine before continuing. http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
If you know you have just been infected, with a fake antivirus for example, running system restore to a previous restore point is often the fastest way of getting your machine working again
Making any changes to a PC setup always comes with a slight risk of something going wrong, the worse case scenario is an unbootable PC - ideally you should have got a backup of important data on dvd or external disk, and a disk image backup (http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp) or windows disc/factory restore partition available before you start. In the unlikely event that anything does go wrong, post on another pc for advice.
__________________________________________________
If you suspect an infection, here are some other virus scanners to try, let them fix anything found

http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro
http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.exe
************************************************
Scanning with all the scanners above along with your resident scanner should remove most or all infections if there are any present on your machine, below is some specific (optional) advice based on your log which may help to improve speed and tidy things up.
__________________________________________________
Install and run ccleaner (untick the google toolbar during the install). Untick the "windows log files" box, under the system heading before cleaning. Also Tick the java cache tick box under CCleaner, applications, internet to wipe the java cache which sometimes hides infections. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim
Install and run startuplite, accept suggested changes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/StartUpLite.exe
Disable ctfmon - control panel, regional and language options,languages, details, advanced, tick the Turn off advanced text services, ok

This is a list of (or remnants of) security software evident in your log, you may wish to uninstall these in Control Panel (add/remove programs or programs/features) to keep your PC running smoothly, too much overlapping or bloated security software can have a drastic effect on performance - always leave one resident scanner running (eg avast/avira etc)

For some reason, I can't access to LOG IN on two internet banking accounts...is this to do with anything I've removed? I've done what you've said, and it's still a bit slow but it's better
Thank you again
I went to remove the dupe Zone Alarm, but it's come of completly, shall I leave it off? I've put on Windows Firewall.
Thank you again!
I've got 504 MB Ram.......Think I need a better computer lol.
Commit Charge: 342M / 1225M
I've no idea what Commit charge is :S:beer: Thank you to everyone! :beer:

Also, I'm having trouble doing this:Download and install cleanmem http://www.pcwintech.com/cleanmem (download direct download). In windows explorer, go to c:\windows\tasks, click on the clean system memory task, schedule, advanced, and change it from every 30 minutes to every 5 minutes, then ok, ok. Find c:\program files\cleanmem\mini_monitor, run it and right click the icon (near the clock) to set it to automatically run at startup, show percentage to keep an eye on your ram use. If your machine is still slow after doing everything listed, post your commit charge and installed physical ram details from task manager performance
I've downloaded it, but when I go into Tasks, I haven't got anything about a schedule or advanced so having difficulty doing that.
I have 'add scheduled task'........:beer: Thank you to everyone! :beer:

Did you install it?
Commit charge is how much ram your pc is using, peak is the most it used since startup, when it gets above installed ram, pc goes slow
What happens when you try to login to banking, using a browser?
Unless you need them running all the time, use the startup tab in msconfig to disable these items from running at startup (they can always be run manually if needed)
