Slow computer, sys files changing HJT log included

[rabbott]

My computer is slow to start up, gives one error consistenly at startup: 'Invalid entry point BUF_mem_grow_clean could not be located. libeay32.dll'

Once the computer is up and running, Trend Antivirus shows a balloon popup in system tray that says it is scanning outgoing mail.

My tcpip.sys file was corrupt to begin with, I copied a good version, then it became corrupt again. I copied the good version a second time and it has stayed OK for 12 hours now.

I'm sure I've got some kind of virus, malware, spyware of something but just can not find it.

If anyone can help, I'd truely appreciate it.

Thanks

Please download ComboFix by sUBs from HERE or HERE

• You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
• Physically disconnect from the internet.
• Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
• Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
• When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log
• Re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix..

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

look suspicious to me- especially the no name bit. They're probably just orphaned processes, so they're probably good to fix anyways. I'd recommend fixing them? Otherwise you appear clean to my- new-to-hijack-this- reading.

Also, you can try the shotgun approach: Update all your protection (Trendmicro Antivirus, Webroot SpySweepr (which your HJT log say you have) and whatever else you might have- or will download- AVG Antispyware- http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0 A-squared free- http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/download/ or whatever else- and run full scans.

Above is an outdated version of Java. Entry is legitimate though. I suggest that you go to add/remove and uninstall any Java JRE installs, then go to http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp and download the latest.

Can you please do the following.

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ion&pf=desktop
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ion&pf=desktop
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ion&pf=desktop

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ion&pf=desktop

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.

I fixed the suggested entries in Hijack This log.
The computer is running much better and thank you for your help!

No worries :)
