Slow Computer & Spyware Issues

[shadowstalker]

Crawler is a search engine that allerts you of a suspicious website. It's been on my computer since April. I think it came with CCleaner, when I downloaded it.
My computer is running smoother now.

ok can you post a fresh hijackthis log

Now we need to create a new System Restore point.

Click Start Menu > Run > type (or copy and paste)

%SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

Press OK. Choose Create a Restore Point then click Next. Name it and click Create, when the confirmation screen shows the restore point has been created click Close.

Next goto Start Menu > Run > type

cleanmgr

Click OK, Disk Cleanup will open and start calculating the amount of space that can be freed, Once thats finished it will open the Disk Cleanup options screen, click the More Options tab then click Clean up on the system restore area and choose Yes at the confirmation window which will remove all the restore points except the one we just created.

To close Disk Cleanup and remove the Temporary Internet Files detected in the initial scan click OK then choose Yes on the confirmation window.

well your logs look clean if you have anymore problems post back to this thread.

The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.

1. Spybot Search & Destroy - Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system.**Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.
   
2. AdAware - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system.**AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.
   
3. SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.
   
4. SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.
   
5. IE-SpyAd - puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
   
6. ATF Cleaner - Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more.**Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.
   
7. Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft.**To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
   
8. Google Toolbar - Free google toolbar that allows you to use the powerful Google search engine from the bar, but also blocks pop up windows.
   
9. Trillian or Miranda-IM - These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program!**(AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)

one last thing to do lets cleanup the tools

Uninstall ComboFix

• Click Start then Run
• Now Type Combofix /u in the runbox
• Make sure there's a space between Combofix & /u
• Then hit Enter

The above procedure will Delete the following:

• ComboFix & it's associated files & folders.
• Reset the clock settings.
• Hide file extensions, if required.
• Hide system/hidden files, if required.
• Set a new, clean Restore Point.

OTCleanit! by Oldtimer

• Download OTCleanIt
• Click the CleanUp! button.
  (It will go thorugh the list & remove all of the tools it finds and then delete itself) Requiring a reboot
