Hey, I know you get this all the time...
Basically, the computer freezes every so often, and has been running quite slow, I'm just a little suspicious because svchost.exe and explorer.exe are running at really high rates...

If you could just help fix it I'd be so glad. :)

Ok, here's my hijack this log:

Please help! :)

Do you ever use Google Toolbar ??? because if not, you should remove it because it can be vulnerable to spyware/malware, etc.

and if your svchost.exe is at really high rates, see if you have windows automatic update turned on, and if you do...go to the windows update page and go to the options tab on the left, scroll down and disable the "Microsoft" updates, but leave the automatic updating "ON" and see if your svchost.exe process starts using less CPU
 
Well i'm no Hopkins, but i think, THINK, that you can get rid of this
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {53707962-6F74-2D53-2644-206D7942484F} - C:\PROGRA~1\SPYBOT~1\SDHelper.dll
but I don't think thats your problem.
 
Hi,

Please do not fix the O2 entry. It is part of a crucial startup process for SpyBot search and destroy which will protect your system.

Also, please do not not copy and paste logs in the future.

You may wish to copy and paste these instructions on notepad for easier reference later.

Boot into safe mode under your normal user name. See how HERE

Next turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE

Go to start > run and type services.msc. Press the enter key.
Search for the following services. Double click to select stop if they are running. Set the startup type to disabled. Click apply/ok for each service you disable.

ntlide3

Open your task manager by pressing holding ctrl, alt and pressing del. Alternatively, use ctrl + shift + esc. Go to the processes tab, and end the following processes, if found:

cmd.exe

After that, run HijackThis and fix the following entries, if found (do this by placing a tick in the check boxes beside these entries and clicking "Fix checked"):

O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-19\..\RunOnce: [nltide3] cmd.exe /C rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSectionEx nLite.inf,C,,4,N (User 'LOCAL SERVICE')
O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-20\..\RunOnce: [nltide3] cmd.exe /C rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSectionEx nLite.inf,C,,4,N (User 'NETWORK SERVICE')

Close HJT.

Reboot into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files.

Thereafter, please post fresh HJT, ComboFix and AVG Antispyware logs from normal mode as attachments into this thread. Do not copy and paste the logs. You can download the utilities from the links in my signature.

I've turned automatic updates off, thanks :)

To momok...

Thanks, I couldn't see an ntlide3 or cmd.exe in either safe mode or normal...

And I deleted O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-18\..\RunOnce: [nltide3] cmd.exe etc.. (and 20)

There was no 19.

Hope this is ok!

Navigate in Windows Explorer and delete the following files and folders in bold.

C:\VundoFix Backups
C:\WINDOWS.0\system32\rqtss.bak1

Reboot into normal mode and rehide your protected OS files.

Thereafter, please post fresh HJT and ComboFix logs from normal mode as attachments into this thread.

Very good.
Your logs look very clean now. =)

Delete all files in AVG Antispyware Quarantine folder.

Turn off system restore (XP/ME only). Learn how to do that HERE.
This will remove all the remaining nasties from your old restore points.

After that turn system restore back on.
This would have created a new safe and clean restore point for your system.

Often times, an infection can occur again not due to the incompetence of programs, but because of user habits.
May I recommend you to read this article.
This can help to prevent future infections.

Should you have any further problems, please post in this thread.
