Be sure to look this solution over before you begin. There are a some item(s) I'm not familar with. If you recognze any, then just omit them from this fix.
We'll need to disable
AdAware's AdWatch, since it might interfere with other program(s) we might be using to 'clean' off your system; you can re-enable it after we're done. To disable this feature, run Run
AdAware SE, then:
1. Click "
AdWatch".
2. Click "
Tools and Preferences".
(
Look at the bottom of the window you will see two options...)
3. Uncheck these options:
Active: This will turn Ad-Watch On\Off without closing it
Automatic: Suspicious activity will be blocked automatically
Remember to re-enable this feature once your system is clean. Let's look for, and delete, any program segments(
prefetches) that might be present, and are associated with the '
problems' we're trying to remove from this system. To do this, let's:
1) Click "
Start | Search", then search for each of these program's
base name(s), in all files and folders:
Kill Time.EXE*
2) Then if any are found in the '
prefetch' folder, delete them.
Look closely, since the '
base' name will have a bunch of random numbers and letters attached to it.
Run
HiJackThis then:
1. Click "
Config..."
2. Click "
Misc Tools"
3. Click "
Open Process manager"
Next, while holding down the
CTRL key, locate (
if present) and click on (
highlight) each of the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Kill Time.EXE
Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "
Kill process". Now, click "
Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.
Run
HiJackThis and click "
Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:
O4 - Global Startup: Kill Time.EXE
Now, with all windows closed except
HiJackThis, click "
Fix checked".
Locate and
delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to view system and hidden files/ folders:
files... C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Kill Time.EXE
Search for...
Time.EXE
...using "
Start | Search...".
Note that some of these file(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're '
in use', try deleting them from "
Safe Mode".
Reboot and post back a new log, and let me know how everything goes.
I have no problem deleting Kill Time as you suggested. However, before I do, just wanted you to know (if you do not already) Kill Time is a small program which adds functionality to the Windows clock/calander.
Since I intentionally installed the program, shall I still delete it? Prior to installing the program, I searched and found no idication that Kill Time contained any malware.
The primary problem is that things all of a sudden run MUCH slower than they have been. Restore points became corrupted and then just recently I have not been able to "turn off" the computer. On those occasions, I had to actually use the power switch.
Now, having said that, I run Ad-Ware and Spyware Blaster at least four times a week, Symantec Antivirus is always on, ZoneAlarm Pro is installed and I run PC Tools Registry Mechanic quite often. I am not the brightest guy going, but I try to keep the computer out of trouble, so to speak. However, the inability to turn it off through the normal shut down procedure has me a bit concerned. I have thought that the Reg Mechanic may be the cause, too. Not sure.....
Thank you for your time and assessment -- it's deeply appreciated.
I deleted all of the previous restore points, etc., as you suggested. I guess only time will tell if thre is an improvement.
Since you have been so kind, may I exploit your knowledge again? I am being lazy now, because I could do research and perhaps find the answer, but I thought I would ask: if I recall correctly, back in the ol' days of DOS, there was a way to return to the original settings, etc. Is that, or a similar prcedure, still available in WinXP?
Just thought I would ask while I "had you on the line."

Set a new restore point now, reboot and see if that restoration fixes the problem?
As far as the shutting down issue, are you getting any error messages?

Steve,
I deleted all of the previous restore points, etc., as you suggested. I guess only time will tell if thre is an improvement.
Since you have been so kind, may I exploit your knowledge again? I am being lazy now, because I could do research and perhaps find the answer, but I thought I would ask: if I recall correctly, back in the ol' days of DOS, there was a way to return to the original settings, etc. Is that, or a similar prcedure, still available in WinXP?
Just thought I would ask while I "had you on the line."
Thank you again for your time, patience and help.

As for your question, as far as I know, only way to reset XP to original settings is by using system restore or reinstalling windows.
There are thing inside XP that can be reset to original settings... but not the OS itself.
Anything else?
