ANSWER: Hi Dorina

You're very welcome for the help.  Things are looking better in your log file.  I will need you to open HJT and click on Scan Only.  Place a check mark in the box next to the following items, close all open windows, and click the Fix Checked button:

Restart the computer.  Next, run a Windows Update.  You are missing very important updates and fixes, including Service Pack 2 & SP3.  After all the updates are done, please advise me of any errors, if any, you are still receiving, and send me one more HJT log.

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: Dear Brian,

The update doesn't complete...it hangs by "cabfiles making"

While booting the PC, a lot activity on the background makes the pc slow. One of the programs (i think) is Spyware doctor, can it? Then I remove this,ok? Because, its difficult to start internet then, when I click that progress off I can internet.

Can you also say which programs I better let away by starting booting the pc (and how I fix that)?

thank you again again and again and again...

Answer
Hi Dorina

Yes, you can uninstall Spyware Doctor.  There are a few other programs that you can uninstall or stop from starting at Windows boot.  Since you are running Bit Defender, you can stop Ad-aware and Spybot from startup.  Google Desktop uses a great amount of memory and CPU cycles, so if your computer is running slow, I would say to uninstall Google first and see how the computer behaves afterwards.  One other thing I need you to do is to open HJT and run a Scan Only.  Then place a check mark in the box next to the following items, close any open windows, and click on the Fix Checked button:

O23 - Service: Windows Task Services (TASKMNGR) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system\taskmngr.exe (file missing)
O23 - Service: Uninterruptible Power Supply UPShelpsvc (UPShelpsvc) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\System32\LDR5.tmp.exe (file missing)
O23 - Service: Microsoft Windows DMR Service (Windows DMR Service) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\dmrproc.exe (file missing)

If you need further help in installing the updates, let me know the exact error you are receiving.  Otherwise, the computer should now be running better.  Just ask if you need more help.
