i am posting here because your Help2Go Detective detected some suspicious entries in HijackThis log file and suggested further analyze on forums. Because it didnt show them, i used HijackThis.de website and it showed me 4 of them. Dont be mad at me for using other website, because your detective is better and it showed me 3 malicious things while hijackthis.de didnt detect any of them.
To be honest i DO NOT have any problem at all, this is just security check, so please forgive me for bothering you here
I kinda feel stupid, because you guys are volunteers and i am bothering you here, but i think you only have to look on 4-5 entries, nothing more, so if you are not to busy, please look at it.

We at Help2Go, along with other similar computer help forums, have a great need for expert HJT and spyware helpers. In other words, we're short handed. I am not an expert, but if you wish to try the following and then run your log through the detective again this may help.
I think the Detective was questioning some of the 04 entries in your log. Please do not change these through HJT as I do not know the HJT procedures. Instead, go to Start > Run > type in msconfig > OK > Startup tab > in the 'Startup Item' column you'll see boxes with check marks in them, these programs are running in the background and using up your RAM and slowing you down. In my opinion, you really only need your anti virus, firewall,and maybe one or two other programs running. Start at the top, do a search in google of that item and look up the process information on each item. It should tell you if the program is needed or not, however it goes a little deeper than that. For example, it will probably say that a graphic card (ATI etc) is needed, but in fact, unless you're a heavy game player and need to adjust your monitor settings all the time, it's not needed at all .. you'd uncheck the box. As I say, go through the list and figure out what you really need. Remember, when stopping these processes running, you are not uninstalling these programs, they can easily be activated by going through Start > All Programs or through a shortcut on your desktop. Also. at any time you can go back into msconfig and check the program again if you feel it needs to be running.
After unchecking the boxes, >OK and then reboot your PC. When rebooted, a configuration window will open, check the box 'do not show this message again' or words to this effect > OK and your done. From this point, you should see an improvement in boot up time as well as a general increase in PC speed.
If you have any questions in regards to some of the running background programs, give us the Startup Item (in list form) and we'll give you our advice.
Without a spyware fighter to confirm you're clean we can't say you are 100%, but if the detective hasn't found any more, and your anti virus program says clean, I'd say chances are pretty good that you're OK.
