HijackThis Log - HELLLLLLP!!

Here's the problem. All of a sudden the IE tabs function stopped working. I've made sure and set options to allow tabs, but when I right click on a link, the only option available is to open in a new window.

Also, I can no longer change my background. I've tried by right clicking on the desktop itself and by going through control panel, but no luck. In fact, the background tab is completely missing. Only tabs for Themes, Screen Saver, Appearance, Settings appear. I created a new profile and that one could change the background, but the profile I usually use cannot.

I don't know if it is spyware related or not but I've attached a hijackthis log below and would appreciate any help from someone who knows how to read them. Thanks!!

Problem - No IE Tabs, Can't change background

dlsoecht 0 Light Poster

17 Years Ago

Hey all,

I am having a problem that I cannot seem to fix using standard virus scans and spyware/adware programs.

1) IE no longer allows me to use tabs. When I right click on a link it does not give me the option of opening in a new tab. I have used internet options and tabs are enabled, but still I cannot use them. I tried restoring defaults and even erased and reinstalled IE - still no tabs.

2) I cannot change my background picture. I set it to a family picture and now want to change it to a different one, but cannot. When I bring up the display properties window through control panel the background tab does not even exist anymore. It also is absent if I right click on the desktop and click properties.

HELP!! -- I have pasted a hijackthis log below just in case I need to clean anything up.

Thank you in advance for ANY help!!!!!

I looked at the list and I didn't recognize gcasDtServ.exe and exec.exe. Everything else looks normal I think.

My computer is running really slow. The cpu usage is getting stuck at 100%. I am trying to listen to itunes while I work and it keeps skipping like a really scratched cd. I'm sure its because of the cpu usage because i have plenty of memory.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Computer Slow - HijackThis log

I've tried my other spyware adware scanners/sweepers, but they all read my system clean. I'm pretty sure something is wrong, so I thought I'd try a hijackthis log check. Thanks in advance.

Re: Computer Slow -- Ghz and RAM not showing up? -- HijackThis Log

Any ideas on power management items that may be causing my problem? Also, does anyone have any ideas why registry mechanic fixes the problem, but the problem does not stay fixed. I have to run registry mechanic EVERY time I boot up my computer, then it runs fine. This is time consuming and, well, annoying. Any thoughts?

I didn't know spyware, etc. had been ruled out as a problem...sorry about posting in the wrong place. As requested, I downloaded the cpu-z program and ran it. What do you want to know from its report? When it first opens, the processor core speed is clocked at 1654, but then almost immediately drops to 530.0 mhz. It seems to recognize the full 768 mb of ram.

Under control panel I click on the system Icon and the box that pops up shows me the processor speed and the mbs of RAM. When I startup my computer it reads 513mhz. After I run registry mechanic it will read 1.66Ghz and it performs better.

Here's the latest update. I downloaded Registry mechanic, ran it, and it found something like 200+ problems. After I had it fix them, it seemed like my computer ran noticably faster and control panel clocked the processor at 1.66 Ghz! Once I restarted the computer, however, it dropped back to 513mhz. Registry mechanic wasn't able to fix all of the problems for some reason...maybe somebody knows why.

A friend of mine mentioned it might be a BIOS problem and suggested I restore the default settings. I did so, and that is the only change to BIOS I have made. I really wouldn't know how or why to change its settings anyway...kind of a novice.

My computer is running extremely slow. It used to show 1.6something Ghz and now only clocks 513, and used to have 768 RAM but now only shows 704. I have posted a hijackthis log if it is anything there. I have also defragged. Help!

I entered setup during boot up by pressing F2 as prompted. There were no options to set bios defaults. There was an option to restore all setup defaults, which I did. It made no change in the performance of my system. Also, I have posted a new HijackThis log for you to take a gander at. If I don't figure this out soon I'll be starting a thread entitled "how to put your computer back together after you've smashed it into pieces due to intense frustration."

I really do appreciate the help, though. At least we've made some progress.

Does anybody have any other suggestions as to why my computer is running so slow (513 mhz instead of 1.6 ghz), other than hijackers, adware, or spyware. Everything seems to come up clean on scans with every program I have. My computer is still running VERY slow in comparison to when I first got it.

I tried what you suggested, but I was not ever able to find an option to set BIOS to defaults. Can anyone think of anything non spyware or adware that might be cutting my processor speed in half (1.6 Ghz to 513 Mhz)? Are there ANY other options or suggestions? My computer is ridiculously slow compared to when I first got it! HELP!!

Here is a new HijackThis log. I thought I got rid of poon.exe with a housecall online virus scan, but it seems to have reappeared. Also, I no longer use netzero for internet service and I see that there is a netzero entry in HijackThis. Is it okay to delete that? Thanks for the help.

OK. Did everything you suggested above. Performance seems a little better, but processor is still only clocking at 513mhz and 192 ram instead of 1.6 and 256 it should be. Here is the Hijackthis log from version 1.99. I REALLY appreciate all your help with this!!

I did all that you requested. Adaware only found one problem and Spybot found 5 DSO entries. While the computer was shutting down after using adaware, I got an error message that said something about AshServ.exe or AshServe.exe, but the computer shut down before I was able to read it. Here is the HijackThis log after a new scan:

Computer Running Slow -- HijackThis Log

20 Years Ago

I am having a problem with my system running slow. I have run fully updated versions of spybot, adaware, norton, and avast, but none have picked up anything. My laptop has an athalon 2000+ processor that usually runs at 1.6 ghz, but for some reason is now only running at 513 mhz according to control panel. Things have SIGNIFICANTLY slowed and so I thought I'd get someone to look at this log for me to see if anything listed could be my problem. If not...I'm open to suggestions!!

Thanks!!

IE Cannot find Server error, spyware, hijack

20 Years Ago

I am having a constant and repeating problem with IE explorer. When I startup my computer it works fine for up to two hours, then all of a sudden I get a cannot find server error message. If I reboot it will go back to working fine for a little while and then the same problem happens again. I have no clue why this continues to happen. I have downloaded every kind of spyware, adware, or hijack scanning program I know of and none of their scans seem to pick it up or get rid of it.

This is driving me crazy! Please Help!!!
