[AnnMarie]

I cant see any evidence of malware files. It looks like you ran System Restore on the 9th September? Is this the case and if so, have the spikes occurred since you did this?

[Myri]

Hello,
yeah, they're still going on... I ran system restore because I tried to turn off all unnecessary programs that automatically started up and I screwed something up and my Photoshop stopped working, so I had to restore. :-\ Could it be a problem with my memory or processor?

[AnnMarie]

I dont know Myri, I dont work on Hardware Issues. I can clean up your startups a bit and see if that helps.

Before I do this, did you disable Ctrl + Alt + Del?

[Myri]

How can I clean up startups?

Also, I don't believe so... I just used it a few minutes ago. Is something weird coming up about it?

[AnnMarie]

No, it's fine if you can use it. It must be just at the logon screen.

Close Internet Explorer and any open windows and rightclick on Hijack This and choose "Run as Administrator". Check the below entries and click on Fix Checked.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - MRI_DISABLED - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - (no
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)

When you have done this, hit the Windows key plus r on your keyboard and type:

msconfig.exe

and click ok. Uncheck the below startup and reboot:

[1040749826] c:\program files\toshiba registration\registration.exe /r "c:\program files\toshiba registration\Registration.rpd"

Post a new Hijack This log please and let me know if you notice any difference.

[Myri]

Ok, thanks! I'll do it in the morning. I'm about to go to bed. I'll post and let you know if it worked. Thanks so much!

[AnnMarie]

You are welcome.
