persianpower Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Sorry again but im desperateThanks for answering my questions, i look forward to reading your advice.By the way, my system is regularly checked for spy/mal/adware and viruses. Its cleanI use the following startup programs (* means always running)-DVDIDLE PRO (makes playing DVDS more effecient) *-Smartmouse (makes mouse gestures) *-WINMX *-DC++ *-URLyWarning (website checker) *-Admuncher *-Symantec Crashstop *-Tweakmaster (DNS Accelerator) *-Spyblaster *-Spysweeper (checks startup entry requests) *-AVG Antivirus *-microsoft antispyware *the following are programs i use to clean and secure my system-pc bug doctor-pcpitstop test-Trend micro online scan (ive tried this once - not bad - didnt find anything though)-Panda online scan (planning on trying this)-Ad-aware SE PRO-Spybot-regclean -Tune up utilities 2004 Regcleaner (finds bad extentions, shortcuts, activex, etc..)-regdefrag-windows pagefile degragger-cwshredder-Big fix (i shut this one down if it has nothing to do)note:these programs all find different problems, while it may seem i have too many programs with the same function, i find uses for all these programs. If you think i should dump one of these programs, please specify. if you feel you can name a better replacement, id be glad to listenMoving on,My system is checked by CHKDSK and defragged, before i ask my questions, here is a recent DEFRAG LOG for your technical reviewnote: i conduct weekly cleaning sweeps and i use all the above programs systematicallynote: i bootup my xp pro sp1 in less than a minute and i have at least a dozen startup programs marked with asteriks above :) i need them all (or do I?) :)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is a DEFRAG REPORT created by Windows XP Defragger. 44% of my C drive is fragmented, this is because of all the VIDEO downloading i do from both WINMX and DC++. My most fragmented files are in my DOWNLOADS INCOMPLETE folder ranging in size from 145-800MB each file. About 60% of my drive is used by these kinds of files. Even after running the Defragger my c drive remains very fragmented. The results below are proof of that.Volume Local Disk (C:) Volume size = 76.33 GB Cluster size = 4 KB Used space = 58.78 GB Free space = 17.55 GB Percent free space = 22 %Volume fragmentation Total fragmentation = 44 % File fragmentation = 85 % Free space fragmentation = 3 %File fragmentation Total files = 54,652 Average file size = 2 MB Total fragmented files = 3,372 Total excess fragments = 758,115 Average fragments per file = 14.87Pagefile fragmentation Pagefile size = 774 MB Total fragments = 37,651note: i use pagedefagFolder fragmentation Total folders = 4,489 Fragmented folders = 1 Excess folder fragments = 32Master File Table (MFT) fragmentation Total MFT size = 88 MB MFT record count = 65,897 Percent MFT in use = 73 % Total MFT fragments = 2MOving on, *any idea why my always connected dsl connection is having SLOW periods (lasting several hours) and then returning to normal broadband speeds (that last several hours) only to once again drop to SLOW periods. This affects SURFING speed and causes enourmous lag, both in firefox 1 and ie6. DL/UL speeds seem unaffected and are peaking, which is good. Restarting the browsers/modem has no affect and the slow and normal periods occur at random each lasting no longer than a few hours or even minutes. sometimes they come & go. Remember my computer is super clean from any crap and has been rebooted, scanned, defraged and all that. I cant explain it any better, sorry.p.s.i dont use a routeri use microfilters on all other phone jacksand i recently upgraded to firefox 1.1 (no change)noteif you like to see any of the following details about my internet software connection, let me know and i will post it1) firefox user.js preference settings2) firefox extentions list (i have 25 ext with my FF)3) TCP/IP settings 4) Cablenut settings5) latest HIJACKTHIS log *attached**any idea why when i use the windoes explorer search function, i recieve multiple random slow periods? sometimes it takes a couple seconds to search a folder (which is good), other times it takes upto 30 seconds to search the same folder the very next day. once again its random. another wierd bug i discovered in the Find files & folders search function of explorer.exe (Ctrl +F) is the Windows button flicker (namely the Start and Stop search buttons, they steal each others focus. I lose focus constantly. I.e. I highlight 10 search results for deletion, 1 second after the highlight, windows steals my focus and all 10 lose thier highlight. I have to out time windows to maintain hold of my highlighted files. My colums mess up too. NOTE: all these bugs are random, minor but hinder at the productivity of a good search. They must be destroyed. *Im looking for an accuarate explanation as to why my system might have a brief slow down. Sometimes the cpu jumps or the page file goes over 1GB, and killing a program doesnt have much affect. It's random...Only a few months ago, my page file would be out of wack if it even went over 500MB. Now its trippling that no problem.If you're looking for my system details, please scroll to the bottom*in Task Manager, under Networks, why is my Network utilization percentage always hovering around 0.5-2%. What is the other 99% up to?*i need a page translation program for Firefox 1.0. I cant find it among the many extenstions. The one i do have is called TRANSLATE 0.6.0.6. ALL it does is advertise a translation site. Its a joke. For IE i had a good service but i need some help tracking a Firefox page translation plugin.Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1Scan saved at 6:44:00 AM, on 2/26/2005Platform: Windows XP SP1 (WinNT 5.01.2600)MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106)I USE FIREFOX 1.01 not IE6Running processes:C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exeC:\Program Files\Microsoft AntiSpyware\gcasServ.exeC:\PROGRA~1\TweakMASTER\TMTray.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\2\bgsmsnd.exeC:\Program Files\Spy Sweeper\SpySweeper.exeC:\PROGRA~1\AVGFRE~1\avgamsvr.exeC:\Program Files\Microsoft AntiSpyware\gcasDtServ.exeC:\PROGRA~1\AVGFRE~1\avgupsvc.exeC:\Program Files\ewido anti trojan\ewidoctrl.exeC:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7DEBUG\MDM.EXEC:\Program Files\SmartMOUSE\SmartMouse.exeC:\Program Files\CrashStop\cs.exeC:\Program Files\Rar$EX02.250\RegManServ.exeC:\Program Files\Ad Muncher\AdMunch.exeC:\Program Files\Analog Devices\SoundMAX\SMAgent.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\wdfmgr.exeC:\PROGRA~1\DVDIDL~1\DVDIdlePro.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\taskmgr.exeC:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exeC:\WINDOWS\explorer.exeC:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exeC:\Program Files\URLyWarning\URLyWarning.exeC:\Program Files\DC++\DCPlusPlus.exeC:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exeC:\Program Files\WinMX\WinMX.exeC:\Program Files\Microsoft AntiSpyware\GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exeC:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exeC:\Program Files\Rar$EX00.953\HijackThis.exeR0 -
