You may notice a small difference with a pc, but not that much. Hook a HD box up to it and you will notice a massive difference on the channels that are broadcast in HD.

That all depends on what is connected to it.

Download the Panda Antirootkit programme (http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=5457&file=9&evp=48f78333afefe88250d4d2dd09f65b17).

Unzip it and run the PAVARK.exe file.

Tick the box...

It should be in power options.

Is your mobo sata 2 compliant? Are you mirroring from sata to sata or from ata to sata?

Try installing the Vista motherboard drivers. That may cure the problem.

You probably have built in graphics. That uses up a part of your ram. It's probably 256meg rather than 210 that appears "missing".
If your pc can take a plug in card it will be quite a bit quicker...

One idea that may be worth a shot. Open up your "My Computer" and do a search for mbam.exe. Once located, right click on it and select rename. Rename it to helpme.exe then try running it.

Do you have SP3 installed? Because I has problems with my audio with SP3 installed so I uninstalled it.

Also, get the latest audio driver from the Asus website. My Asus mobo was only 3 months old when I built it up and the drivers on the cd were already out of date.

You could also see if there are any clues in event viewer. INSTRUCTIONS (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html)

Another NO here. I have tried Windows7 64bit on a 32bit machine just to see and it says "wrong CPU installed".

Using pirated software is illegal.

Plus there doesn't seem to be many good reviews on QuickHeal either. I wouldn't trust it.

In my opinion, Vista is not a very good OS. I have stuck with XP and a dual boot of Windows 7 release candidate.

If your pc has been designed for XP then it wont run all that great with Vista...

See what the event viewer says. INSTRUCTIONS (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html)

If your pc is now working fine, you can mark this thread as solved. :)

That means your ram is faulty and needs to be replaced.

You need to make the cd bootable by selecting "make cd bootable" in the menu of your burning software.

What format did you download it in?

I think you need to test your ram next. Google and get memtest and run it for at least 7 passes (it will take a long time). If you get any errors at all then your ram is faulty.

Your HJT log looks clean.

I recon you can now mark this thread as solved if you are happy with how your PC is running. :)

There doesn't appear to be a malware problem on your PC so perhaps doing a scandisk may be a good idea. INSTRUCTIONS (http://speedupyourcomputer.windowsreinstall.com/part5.htm)

I would like you to update Mbam and do a fresh scan with it and post it's log.

2 entries to fix via the same method as before.

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - *{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file)
R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) -...

Your HJT log looks clean.

Please go to the ESET Online Scanner (http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/scanner.php?i_agree=14) and do a full scan. Let us know the results and try installing Avast once...

Have HJT fix the following by placing a tick next to the entry.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)

Then click the "fix checked" button.

AVG isnt as good...

That looks nice and clean.

Post a Hijackthis (http://download.cnet.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html) log and I will be able to see if there is anything left over.

You need to update Mbam and run it again as the database version is out of date. Your log shows database 2551, the latest version is 2658.

Please post the log from Mbam, it is stage 1 of a process.

Your Mbam log is clean. I need to see a fresh HJT log as I asked for before.

Your pc is probably infected.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebyt...are_d5756.html) to your desktop.

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts...

Have HJT fix the following by placing a tick in the box next to each entry.

I am sorry to hear about your cat. Loosing a pet is always hard. You have my sympathy!

I would like you to update Mbam and run it again and post a fresh log.
Then post a fresh HJT log afterward.

A scan with Mbam should fix the problem.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebyt...are_d5756.html) to your desktop.

If you post an HJT log I will see if there is anything left over.

Sounds like either bad ram or bad hard drive to me.

Unplug it from the mains and remove the bios battery for about a minute. It is a round silver object with CR2032 stamped on it.

You will have to set the time and date and boot order correctly...

What security software have you got? Have you run any scans? If so, results?

Cool. We need Mbam to do it's work before tackling what's left over with HJT.

Make sure you update Mbam and get it to remove what it finds.
