Hi Bboy
I would not have told you to delete them if I did not recognize them as all bad.
D/L Startup CPL
http://mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
Use it to Control Startups un-check something you are not sure you need and reboot. If you do need it just check it reboot and it is back. Or delete!
In startups these 2 are not needed.
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\mdm.exe
Use HJT Scan only select the below for removal
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime
O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {CD67F990-D8E9-11d2-98FE-00C0F0318AFE} - (no file)
Note the next errors are Related to Coral and SQL, the reference to Sys Event Manager (EvtMgr) is not the Windows event manager. Likely MySQL!
If you want or need to keep them then repair reinstall My SQL or delete them and uninstall My SQL. You decide.
O23 - Service: Sys Event Manager (EvtMgr) - Unknown owner - c:\winnt\system32\Evtmgr.exe
O23 - Service: Logon Event (Logon) - Unknown owner - c:\winnt\system32\system.exe (file missing)
O23 - Service: MSSQLService - Unknown owner - c:\winnt\system32\service.exe (file missing)
O23 - Service: MySql - Unknown owner - D:/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt.exe (file missing)
This last one is from an uninstalled Norton/Symantec Firewall. To fix it before using HJT, I would run
http://service1.symantec.com/support/nsw.nsf/docid/2001101612274407 and
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...docid=2001101612274407&nsf=nsw.nsf&view=docid
To complete Norton/Symantec removal I would Search the HD for Norton*.* and Symantec*.* and chose Advanced Options at bottom of search to look for System folder, Hidden, Subfolders. Delete all it finds.
I always use Regseeker Find in Registry for norton then symantec and delete them all.
O23 - Service: Symantec Network Drivers Service (SNDSrvc) - Symantec Corporation - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\SNDSrvc.exe

Clean and update Java
Cleanup old Java and update to newest version this program will do it all for you.
Download JavaRa
http://prm753.bchea.org/JavaRa.html
Unzip it, run it, to update chose Jucheck (Suns updater) first, and if you do not have Jucheck then chose Update using Sun.
After update chose Cleanup old versions. Give it a minute and after it pops up the log file you will see what it removed.
Then click "Additional tasks" and check "remove Useless JRE files and Remove JavaRa log files.
After that run Search for Updates again to confirm you are up to date.
After that run remove older versions again. This time the Log file should be empty.

For protection later
ERUNT
Add a redundent Reg backup, get and install ERUNT let it add itself to startup and do a backup on install check all boxes.
ERUNT

Yes! Even if you use system restore and other backups Registry and Images.

Finally
Clean and tweak services ( Note you may not have all of these) some apply to XP and you have 2k.
In services stop and disable all of the below just to get them out of the way for now for trouble shooting purposes.
Nothing is un-installed or deleted only disabled from running!
They can be put back anytime later but I would not, as none of them are needed by most home users and very few business users. Basically stuff M$ thought you should have.
Disabled uses no memory (RAM) and no CPU cycles.
Manual uses the RAM but a small amount of CPU.
Auto and not started they use even more RAM and CPU.
Auto and started even more RAM and CPU ..
Leaving these all off, then becomes a performance tweak/boost as they free some RAM and CPU cycles!
Special note. If you are going to pick and choose then be aware that the small amount of RAM and CPU cycles of each one individually is not significant but as a group it is!
So if you need most of them (or just think you do because you don't) then just as well enable them all)!
Distributed Link Tracking Client
Distributed Transaction Coordinator
DNS Client
Fast User switching
Health Key and Certificate Management Service
Indexing service
Messenger
Net logon (only needed to log into a Domain Controller) which you don't have
Net.TCP Port Sharing
NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing
IPsec services
QoS RSVP
Remote Registry (a securtity risk also)
Uninterruptable power supply
Universal Plug and play
Web Client
Windows media player Network Sharing
IF you are using a wired network card and "NOT" using wireless on this computer then you can also disable...
Wireless Zero configuration
Wireless Zero configuration is only used on computers with a wireless NIC like a Laptop.
Do not disable Wireless Zero configuration on a Laptop. Has nothing to do with other wireless hardware like wireless routers etc.
In short if this computer has a CAT 5 or 6 cable and no ability to connect wirelessly if that cable is unplugged, then you can disable Wireless Zero configuration.
This is not to be confused with Wired Auto Config do not disable that!
Ok that sould keep you busy for a while and out of my hair!
