lately my computer has been running pretty bad. Its happened slowly over time but now its acting really "sluggish". Not as quick as it usually is. But thats bareable obviously, tis not THAT bad lol its mainly the games side. lately my games have been running really sluggish, which makes it really hard to kill people (this is multiplayer btw, medal of honor series mainly) Its as if its lagging, but its not lol same effect though. It hard to explain but its affecting my gameplay, as when i run into someone face-to-face and start guns blazeing, 6 times out of 10 it starts running slower, like not as smooth as it should.
Now to fix this problem i have done that thread by RBS about spyware remover, adaware,hijackthis etc. but still not much luck.I Also scan reguraraly with AVG Antivirus(free one :p )
Any ideas on how to make my games run smoother like they once did? lol Thanx :)
p.s. i have a feeling some programs are running in my task manager that shouldnt, check it out on the link below, cause im sure the IEXPLORE shouldnt be ther as i use firefox lol

What you are describing sounds like spyware and adware.
Two good programs for removing this stuff are Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware SE Personal
You can get Spybot here:Spybot Search and Destroy (http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10289035.html?tag=lst-0-1)
You can get Ad-Aware here:Ad-Aware SE Personal (http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10319876.html?tag=lst-0-2)
These are both FREE programs.
Hope this helps.

I agree with you that IEXPLORE.EXE should not be running.
Click Start/Run and type msconfig and click OK.
See if IE is started anywhere in there.
The one questionable process I found is wbload.exe, unless you run WindowBlinds.
Post a HJT log if you like.

yea i have windows blinds, tahts why my start bar looks so fancy :P lol heres my hijack this log
wtf u talkin about "you have one ugly mug" i never even put a pic up. And i have already done that, i done that ages ago (the stuff ont aht thread that is) but ill do it again jus incase. And about norton, i installed it ages ago but it fu*ked up and whenever i uninstall it i lose my internet access. Something about Norton internet security pish, but would running that and avg slow it down? as norton never seems to appear (besides SOMETIMES when it says an error message reading "Norton does not support this repair feature")
yea back to this mug thing, what the hell are you talkin about lol

Can you run your games with WBlinds disabled and see if there's a difference?
I seem to recall a post from a gaming forum that it tends to run away with resources.

James, I was referring to your AVATAR :D
Here is the lowdown on your slow PC (probably missed a few as well):
You should read my signature:
C:\Documents and Settings\James\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Directory 5 for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exe
There are a bunch of updaters running, that you can switch off.
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_01\bin\jusched.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\UpdateService\issch.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ISUSPM Startup] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\INSTAL~1\UPDATE~1\isuspm.exe -startup
You have 2 messenger programs running at the same time, one is enough:
C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\MsnMsgr.Exe
C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe
You have IE running as well as Firefox, FF alone is enough:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
You have been Hijacked etc:
O10 - Hijacked Internet access by New.Net
O10 - Broken Internet access because of LSP provider 'xfire_lsp_9733.dll' missing
And of course you have NORTON crap running.
No wonder your PC runs crap with all this ballast!
[b]After you get rid of all the junk, post a clean log.

right i went through it all and checked all the stuff, and of course i had problems lol. first off after clicking the fix checked i rescanned and the O10 ones were still ther (hijack one), i kept trying but they werent for going away. Next as i was fixing it all for the first time it said something about a BHO couldnt be deleted, and it recommended spybot. But after scanning again it was gone, so im not sure if its actually away or if its just hideing it. And i'd like to keep my eye candy :p as it didnt affect the performance before, plus it looks kool lol I'm about to try and uninstall norton while keeping my internet access and see how that goes, i'll post a log once i've tried it. Plus i got a program called WINSOCK or something thats supposed 2 help, so ill keep you updated
p.s. lucky u werent talkin about me m8, woulda had to come over there and give you what for :knock: hehe jus kiddin

right i dont know why but it actually worked as it should lol i uninstalled it and my internet never cut off. But it did last time (last 5 times), although that wos a while ago a guess. Anyways here is my new and hopefulyl improved hijackthis log
oh and the 2 that wouldnt delete, the O10 hijacked ones, the message tells me to try spybot, so i ran it to see if it would help(and got the thing i always get, 5 entries of DSO Exploit , every time i scan i get that lol and fixin them dont help either, it says it does but its talkin out its **** lol).
Here are the results
Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.0
Scan saved at 17:27:09, on 26/03/2005
Platform: Windows XP (WinNT 5.01.2600)
MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 (6.00.2600.0000)
p.s. a bit of good news, IEXPLORE seems to be off my processes list, usually its always there and when i try to close it, it just ocmes back lol anyway i'll go and try out some games and see if its running any better

My previous post was just pointing out all the reasons why your PC was running so poorly.
It was NOT the advise for HJT problem-solving. Anyway, you got rid of some baddies already.
BUT, when I say follow instructions EXACTLY, I expect people to do this!
The instructions for both your O10 problems are in my post!
Maybe you should consider installing SP2 (this includes SP1).
Boot in Safe Mode.
Switch System restore OFF.
Press Ctrl/Alt/Del simultaneously, select Taskmanager/Processes, select the process (if there), click "End Process" for:
yBNs.exe
swwhost.exe
SNDSrvc.exe
Next, run HJT on its own and let it 'fix' if still there:
C:\documents and settings\james\local settings\temp\yBNs.exe
C:\documents and settings\james\local settings\temp\yBNs.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [yBNs] C:\documents and settings\james\local settings\temp\yBNs.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Windows Update] swwhost.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [yBNs.exe] C:\documents and settings\james\local settings\temp\yBNs.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [New.net Startup] rundll32 C:\PROGRA~1\NEWDOT~1\NEWDOT~2.DLL,NewDotNetStartup -s
O16 - DPF: {14B87622-7E19-4EA8-93B3-97215F77A6BC} (MessengerStatsClient Class) - http://messenger.zone.msn.com/binar...nt.cab31267.cab
O16 - DPF: {6414512B-B978-451D-A0D8-FCFDF33E833C} (WUWebControl Class) - http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.c...b?1111428820654

O23 - Service: Symantec Network Drivers Service - Symantec Corporation - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\SNDSrvc.exe
When done, delete the highlighted bold files. When a directory-name is bold, delete everything in it, including that directory itself.
Empty the "Temp" folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\{user}\Local Settings\Temp
In Internet Explorer, click on Tools/Internet options and
empty your Temporary Internet Files, all Offline content and delete Cookies.
Download/install/run OmegakillerSW from http://www.short-media.com/review.php?r=252&p=3
Read the instructions on that page first, please!
That should get rid of your O10 - Hijacked Internet access by New.Net
Download/install/run LSPFix from http://cexx.org/lspfix.htm
1. Run LSPFix.
2. Check 'I know what I'm doing'.
3. Select 'xfire_lsp_9733.dll'.
4. Click the right-pointing arrow (moves it to the "remove" page).
5. Click 'Finished'.
6. Restart your computer in "Safe Mode" (F5 or F8 when starting Windows).
7. Delete the following file: 'xfire_lsp_9733.dll'
8. Restart your computer and bring it up in normal mode.
That should get rid of your O10 - Broken Internet access because of LSP provider 'xfire_lsp_9733.dll' missing

now now no need to get touchy lol i done everything you said, but the thing is when i used that omegakiller thing it found nothing :dead: but everything else seemed to go ok. but i went there to check up on how it was going, so i scanned with hijack this and heres what i got

MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 (6.00.2600.0000)

Click Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and uninstall this program if listed:
New.net Application
or
New.net Domains
If neither is listed, download and run this tool:
http://www.new.net/support/uninstall6_38.exe
Reboot in Safe Mode.
Run HJT, let it 'fix' all of your O1 lines, and then post a new hijackthis log, DON'T cut and paste please.
