Thanks Tarun,

I chose to remove just these entries, they looked the most suspicious.

I'ma tell you again Tarun, cause you're my boy... I agree with McKenna that you should only recommend to remove things that are indeed malware. Just because they are optional does not mean you should suggest to remove *everything*. Most people that come here for a HJT log cleaning are going to checkmark literally everything you tell them to, without thinking about it. This is the unfortunate way that computer users work. They forget all about life and logic when they sit in front of an electronic box.

Stop it!

Had an email from the guy who's computer was infected, all seem's OK now thanks Tarun.

Maybe I should just totally give up. No loss, eh?

No Tarun dont give up. I like it when you tell us what the useless stuff that we have installed is. Besides if the person can read you have it clearly labeled if it's malicious or not.

Even if I do give up, I still have my near-dead site anyways.

Tarun I like your site and you have lots of great info there but it's hard to post their and here when its about the same people and less of them. To be honest if some of the people here like CaPman, Englishmen, Djlizard,ect would start to use your forum I could leave CCleaner. It's just hard to post both their and here when I will get less feedback there. The thing is that you have lots more topics at your forum so it could potentially become a huge community. I really like Dj's new site I have it subscribed on rss in firefox and I read the headlines and respond to the ones I want (I have yours on rss too ) What I think would be cool is if Mr.G would give this forum to you and make it part of your site and CCleaner so that people whould come here for CCleaner and join a great online community while theyre at it. Then you could make your site like Dj's and have a cool blog with all the new tech info and still have all of your stuff like your antimalware package and ff tweaks. Also I really like Jay's blog from your forum maybe he could join here too. That to me is what an ideal situation would be. What do you think? If this pisses you off sorry send me a PM and I will delete this and pretend I never brought it up.

It's cool. Just kinda bums me that so few people post there. 200 members nearly and hardly 5% of them post. Oh well, maybe activity will pick up soon; I mean with 1000 hits a day.. It just doesn't make sense.

Your right you would think that with that many hits you would get more members. Maybe what you did about only letting members access the downloads will help. Also you should try making your pc maintenace like that too so you will get more members. I'm sure it will pick up soon. I will try to start more topics in the news sections and stuff and see if that helps.

have just been reading all you thoughts on this matter and would like to add my own as a relativly new user. For me THIS site is ideal, it is easy to access, use and read because I am not an "expert" like you lot.The info I recieve here is so easy to apply. You make it so (so Tarun don't lose heart)
As to your site Tarun which I have just been looking at , I feel it is aimed a step higher than me, I would like to see a more simplyfied user interface which may invite more participation. But NEVER give up.

I did actually mean to post the hijackthis log on your site, but I was in work and kept getting distracted, and just happened to post it in here somehow.

Give it time Tarun, your site will pick up.

What about a disclaimer at the top of your analysis stating that it is just making known what can be removed and that not all entries need to be removed, and that further scrutiny is required. Or am I talking a load of rubbish?

I suppose I could pop in a message that it's putting forth a message for an optimized system.
