You don't need nLite as it may break many things and you could be left without a working CD/DVD to reinstall your OS. Try Creating an Unattended Windows XP/2003 CD. This link is offered all over MSFN and the guide is excellent to use. From beginners to experts; you can do everything you need with this.

"How can I properly defragment the needed files?" Simple. The following instructions will help you download the necessary freeware tools to clean up your system and optimize it. Download Power Defragmenter GUI and save it where you can find it easily (Such as the Desktop). Unzip PowerDefragmenterGUI.zip. Unable to decompress the zip file? You can use 7-Zip to decompress files with ease. Download Sysinternals' Contig to the same location you saved Power Defragmenter GUI. Unzip Contig.zip. Browse into the Contig directory and copy the Contig.exe file into the Power Defragmenter GUI folder. The reason? Power Defragmenter GUI is designed to work extremely well with Sysinternals' Contig. From the Power Defragmenter GUI directory, double click the Power Defragmenter GUI.exe file. Click Next, then select PowerMode Disk Defragmentation and click next. The Contig window will open as your hard drive is defragmented. Once Contig completes, the Windows Disk Defragmenter will open in the command line window and defrag your hard drive as well, putting things in the order it sees best fit for your computer. When everything is complete, Power Defragmenter GUI will tell you that it has completed all of its work. You can click Quit/Finish to exit the program. NOTE: This process can take anywhere from minutes to hours! It is best to let the defragmentation process complete for optimal performance. If need be, let this run overnight. The process is all automated and will help your system greatly. Should any questions arise, please contact me. Kind regards, Tarun

You can also post a HijackThis log for cleanup purposes.

Give Dial-a-fix a try.

No, do not remove anything with (file missing) at the end. HijackThis cannot properly handle file paths and protected/locked files. It's common to see Avast items say (file missing) when they really exist. The downloader could have malicious files with it which is common. I would recommend you update your java to 1.6.

All it does is make it BBCode or HTML ready. The filter is simply done with a professional technician mind.

I've been using Outpost for years, but I'm highly considering switching to Comodo once they fix some issues with it.

Dial-a-fix can most likely fix it as well.

Home: Work is like, 700KB/s.

...what's wrong? It's the XP version, not a new Vista icon.

R-Studio works, but that costs money.

Quite welcome.

Some programs such as PerfectDisk 8 offer a way to wake the computer to defrag.

Just some cleanup. Looks clean now. Generated by Tarun's HijackThis Converter v0.50 Beta. Default-color items are optional, red are known to be malicious.

About:Buster was removed due to rare issues where it would delete the entire System32 directory. AVG AntiSpyware is what used to be called ewido. I've been really busy with work so I haven't had time to update the pages or revise the package. You may want to flush your System Restore by right clicking your C: drive, go to Properties, click Disk Cleanup, then under More Options at the bottom there's a way to cleanup System Restore safely. You should also try Dial-a-fix. I'll also look over your log ASAP.

Download the Anti-Malware Professional package from my website and you can then follow the guide to removing malware, found here. Also, download Avast and do a Minimum install, then do a boot time scan when prompted and scan your entire system. You still have that virus.

Glad you got it resolved. I'm going to be revising my Anti-Malware packages come the end of the year (guide included).

A lot of complaints on .NET is because of the "bloated Framework".

Check out my Anti-Malware package. Get Avast and do a full system scan (including boot time scan), then apply and/or scan with SpywareBlaster, CWShredder, Ad-Aware, Spybot, AVG AntiSpyware, and then post another HijackThis log.
