Running slow...again

[huskerfan1200]

Good info on the Gmail/dropbox options. I'll definitely check into those. She moved back to the classroom this year and is no longer teaching online. I just now realized the amount of stuff she still had on this computer and have eliminated most of it. My online teaching future is up in the air for the coming year. I'll certainly keep these options in mind and make better use of them.

I do a full defrag regularly. Last time was about a month ago and even then, after analyzation, it said that defrag was not necessary, but I did it anyway. Didn't clean up very much. Now that I have moved stuff to the external, I'll do it again. I also use "Defraggler" to do quick defrag work.

Ran the ESET scan again last night and 2 items were returned. The new ESET log is attached. Looks like a couple of things I could get rid of.

One question I should ask...

Each of the scans that I do on this machine are from my XP account. Would it be necessary to run the same scans on her side as well or does the scan look at everything in both accounts?

Tell you what, those findings could be false positives because there are legitimate files in the WebEx program with these names and also note that the log says

probably a variant of Win32/Genetik trojan

, not absolutely, so before you remove those two files found by ESET go to;

http://virusscan.jotti.org/en

Upload each file using the full path of each
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\WebEx\425\atpdmod.dll
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\WebEx\425\webexmgr.dll

Each individual file will then be scanned using 20 different scanners to see if the files are infected. See what each of those scanner reports says. Those scans will take only a few moments each. You can also scan each of those individually using MBA-M.

It looks to me by the logs that all files on "C" drive are being scanned so I don't believe you need to do each account individually.

Well...this is weird...and I'm not sure what to make of it.

I went to the virusscan site, clicked 'Browse' and navigated to C:...WINDOWS...Downloaded Program Files, and here is where it got weird.

First, the folder icon for "Downloaded Program Files" is different than all the others. Rather than the traditional folder, this one is tipped up on its side and more transparent/blurry.

Next, when I double-clicked "Downloaded Program Files" it popped only that much of the path into the seach field. I reloaded/retried and it did it again.

After a couple times of this, I did get the "Downloaded Program Files" to open, but the folder was empty. I tried to 'submit file' on the site but it said that the folder was empty.

Then I decided to navigate to the file to confirm that it was actually there. I went through "My Computer..." got to "WINDOWS" (I believe) and had to unhide the files. When I finally got to the "Downloaded Program Files" folder to open, it had only some files present but none for WebEx.

Then I tried to do a search (Start -> Search) and used the "atpdmod.dll" as the search string, but found nothing.

More than likely I am not doing something correctly, but I'll defer to your advice from here.
