I updated to winxp sp2 in february hoping that would help with the slowness i was having but guess not. Not sure why I am running so slow-have a 50 gig and only used 31 gig. Seems have alot of processes running but I can't decipher which needs to really run for sure. Also I cannot get to a system restore point only checkpoints and the calendar won't go back before 1-1-06 (maybe normal). Not sure how to correct that if i have been hijacked. On the WMP I updated to the 9.0 version and now cannot copy music to cd - only get the message the player cannot copy to the cd - looked at the info & it came up this - 0xC00D11AB: Cannot copy files to recordable disc - I went thru all the instructions of slowing down etc but nothing works. Am using memorex music cd-rs--- I am attaching my hijack this note log in hopes that there is some problems showing there that I am not smart enough to understand .. Please let me know if there have been some hijacking problems. I run trend spyware and zone labs for the firewall. -- Thank you very much - saddison

Hya Saddison , welcome to PCHF.

You have severall minor issues on there it seems , nothing major.

First uninstall "Logitech\Desktop Messenger" in add remove programs. Then run this tool to disable the Windows Messenger service:

Then boot in safemode and fix these with hjt:

And also have a look trough all those "016" Pogo entry's in there. I would remove all that you dont use anymore.

After that have a look in the "Prework" link below in my sig and follow the instructions for Ewido there , and post the log from that please.

Joe5 - thank you very much for the help - so far i have most of it done - not completed the Ewido yet - Question - on the wildtangent - i had not fixed that yet in hjt - does that totally wipe out the wild tangent? it came with this computer and some of the games kids play require it - BUT i am almost blonde here so thot i better ask before hand --- hope to have the Ewido done & post tomorrow ---

Nah , it doesn't wipe it out. You can still use those games after removing that entry.

Joe5 -- got the ewido done & attached - the stuff that came up infected if i wasn't sure of it i didn't do anything -- the brilliant digital stuff has something to do with the kids digital camera so again i was nervous of doing anything to it --- hopefully i did this right for you -- already after cleaning of the stuff thru hjt it has helped alot - let me know - thank you very much sa

Yup , you did everything alright.

And it indeed seems to be a false positive for the brilliant digital entrys.
But you can run Ewido again and let it fix everything else the the brilliant digital entrys. The rest can and should be removed.

Thank you so very much - - will run hjt for the wild tangent and ewido again to clean - am sorry i put 3 things in my post - have been so frustrated -- do i need to do new posts on the system restore & my wmp? -- thank you sa
