Default A Few Processes Hogging Memory BAD - VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!!

We don't help by PM. That would defeat the need for the forum. And many replies are way too big for PM's.

You need an AV or this will just keep happening. There are a few that take little resources. We will do that in a minute. First...

Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only.

Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)
  • R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = about:blank
  • O2 - BHO: (no name) - {59873547-2606-4ADD-BB86-A6F873EDBD89} - (no file)
  • O18 - Filter hijack: text/html - {1a1acda2-78bb-4380-8730-65be7d3c53df} - (no file)
  • O20 - AppInit_DLLs: elorkp.dll
  • O20 - Winlogon Notify: xxyxVoOE - xxyxVoOE.dll (file missing)
Important: Close all windows except for HijackThis and then click Fix checked.

Exit HijackThis.

----------

Download ComboFix© by sUBs from one of the below links. Be sure top save it to the Desktop.

Link #1
Link #2

**Note: It is important that it is saved directly to your Desktop

Close any open Web browsers. (Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) before starting ComboFix.

Temporarily disable your antivirus, and any antispyware real time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.

Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished ComboFix will produce a log for you.
Post the ComboFix log in your next reply.

Important: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Remember to re-enable your antivirus and antispyware protection when ComboFix is complete.

If you have problems with ComboFix usage, see How to use ComboFix

I tried running ComboFix, but it was saying that I had an active Anti-Virus, so I tried uninstalling AVG, and it's having problems uninstalling, so I'm trying to get it removed so can run ComboFix. I should be back on here in the next 15-20 minutes with the log if I can ever get AVG removed. I tried using AVG's uninstaller, but it got to the end of the uninstall and said there was 1 error during uninstall, so it wouldn't uninstall. I even ended the task in taskman of AVG, and tried running ComboFix, but it still says it's running... ugh! Be back shortly!!! Don't go anywhere =)

That's why I was going to wait...

If you run the AVG installer there will be an option to uninstall instead of install. Sometimes that's the only way to remove AVG.

Do you know what is in this folder?

c:\windows\system32\gs

Note: the below instructions were created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, DO NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system

Go to Start > Run and type notepad.exe then click OK

Copy and paste the below into Notepad and save as fixme.reg to Your Desktop

Code:
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig\startupreg\Alcmtr]
Locate fixme.reg on your Desktop and double-click it. Answer Yes when prompted to merge with the Registry.

Delete the fixme.reg from the Desktop.

----------

Everything else looks OK. How is the computer running now?

Ok, I did the registry thing...

The /gs folder is Greeting Card Studio that I tried to download and couldn't get it installed correctly.

It's running a lot better. I just glanced in my Task Manager - Ever since yesterday or so, I've probably restarted ~10 times or so, and the process "SYSTEM" has stayed constant at 61,780 K (memory usage) - It never changes. That seems weird. That's the only other thing I'm worried about right now.

We haven't really done a full virus scan yet so it is a good idea since it is still running high.

Use the ESET Online Antivirus Scanner

This scanner requires Internet Explorer

1. Check the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
2. Click Start
3. When asked, allow the activex control to install
4. Click Start
5. Make sure that the option Remove found threats and the option Scan unwanted applications is check marked.
6. Click Scan
7. Wait for the scan to finish
8. Use notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
9. Add the C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt log into your next reply.

Just letting you know it's still scanning. It's about 1/3 of the way through the scan. It's already found 3 threats. I'll post the log just as soon as if finishes! Thanks! I really do appreciate your help!!

Your welcome.

The ESET scan can take over an hour but it's very good.
