Wtf spam.


Hijackthis is a program that posts your files and allows others to see if they're corrupted. It's NOT a hacking program.

And you tell us to "lern english", you can't even spell Dollars!

[beanmiester]

Post his specs.

If he's had his computer for quite a while, have him reinstall/repair xp.

It really speeds things up.

[luka102]

on the day I defragged my disk with Registry Mechanic was the day I re-installed my windows XP and updated it fully.

specs:
XP Pro. Version 2002 SP3

AMD Sempron(tm) Processor
3000+
1.60GHz, 960 mb of ram
Physical Address Extension

I don't see anything suspicious in that log other than the S3playp.exe process. I've found out that it's a screen toy program but I'm not sure it's created by a trustworthy company. I suggest he removes it and gets a fairly good firewall/anti-virus up and running.

[luka102]

say that the s3 is a trustworthy manufacture, they manufactured my graphic card lawl, that's basically the drive for my graphic card
tenletters

[beanmiester]

How many programs does he run at a time?

If not it might be his processor, I'm guessing it's running two cores though.

But yeah just reinstall windows, if that doesn't fix it then idk what else to do.

[Bonk]

Reinstall XP. It should speed it up. The code doesn't look suspicious.

[XBillabong5670]

Tell him to try a different browser like firefox, or google chrome.

Try not to have lots of programs up all at once.

And restart his computer.

Should go faster after that.
