    Not too bad really. Scan again and fix these.

    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

    After you read thru this (it will explain those strange processes), you may want to fix these also.

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [LDM] C:\Program Files\Logitech\Desktop Messenger\8876480\Program\BackWeb-8876480.exe
    O4 - Global Startup: KODAK Software Updater.lnk = C:\Program Files\Kodak\KODAK Software Updater\7288971\Program\backWeb-7288971.exe

    Check out the info under the realsched.exe (TkBellExe 0) entry here. You may want to consider uninstalling Realone Player. If you do, and any of these entries are left over, fix them also. Might want to at least do the renaming as suggested in the description.

    Are you having any specific problems? Or were the processes your primary concern?

    If you have stuff running from a temp folder, that is usually not a good thing.

    Looks like the backweb thing running from the temp.No big deal, fallow
    noahdfear suggestions to disable it

    meaning fix this
    O4 - Global Startup: Logitech Desktop Messenger.lnk = C:\Program Files\Logitech\Desktop Messenger\8876480\Program\LDMConf.exe

    then in logitechs options there probaly is an option to not have it update automaticly.

    and yes you can del anything in a temp folder, might have to reboot first.

    fix this then reboot
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
    then before using real player rename that file to realsched.Old
    it not needed
    If you do Please just periodicly check for updates

    Hi joeskys,

    Sorry about that. In the link I provided, a search for filename realsched.exe would produce this result.


    realsched.exe TkBellExe 0 (Real Networks) Real Networks Scheduler which gets installed with RealOne Player. Under Win9x/ME this task shows as TKBELLEXE, and as EVNTSVC under Windows 2000/XP or REALSCHED depending on which version of RealOne Player you have installed. From our experience, everything that applies to EVNTSVC below, also applies to REALSCHED. RNDAL elsewhere in these Task List pages is a good starting point to read about RealOne Player. Next, a 15-Jun-2002 extract from the RealOne Player License Agreement that is specific to EVNTSVC (the said License Agreement was updated on 25-Nov-2002 by Real Networks and EVNTSVC was replaced by REALSCHED in that version of the License Agreement) : An application Scheduler, known as "evntsvc.exe," is installed along with RealOne Player. Once installed, it runs independently of RealOne Player. The Scheduler does not collect personal information or communicate with RealNetworksÂf servers. It is used to remind AutoUpdate and Message Center to perform their tasks at pre-scheduled intervals. The Scheduler is also used to automatically launch RealNetworksÂf Media Type Helper. The Media Type Helper ensures the system is configured for correct operation of the RealOne Player with Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions ( "MIME ") types, file extensions, Internet protocols and other media types. If a media type has been assigned a different action by a different application, Media Type Helper may override the association and substitute its own association. Recommendation : If reading about RNDAL did not put you off, then read on. RealPlayer Classic used to be one of the most needed pieces of software on a PC. Its successor, RealOne Player, is vying for the title of the most hated piece of software. For a start, on many PCs EVNTSVC slows down boot-ups unacceptably, using up to 90% of CPU time at times. There have also been reports of EVNTSVC dropping advertising shortcuts onto the desktop during idle times. Next, if you try to disable EVNTSVC via Startup Manager or MSCONFIG, RealOne Player checks to see if it has been deleted from the Registry and re-instates it as a startup item ! To be fair, there is a facility within RealOne Player to "only perform automatic services while RealOne Player is in use ". As stated in our write-up for RNDAL, our recommendation is to de-install RealOne Player and either use the classic RealPlayer, or something else such as WinAmp. If you absolutely want to keep RealOne Player, we suggest you rename EVNTSVC.EXE to EVNTSVC.EXE.OLD (or REALSCHED.EXE to REALSCHED.OLD) as that is the only way to make absolutely certain that it never runs, and RealOne Player works fine.

    As you see, the last line says to do what Lonny suggested and rename the file.

    Log looks good. the only other thing I would recommend is end task on msmsgs.exe (Windows Messenger) and disable it or even uninstall it, unless you use it. And yes, empty ALL temp folders.

    I also meant to tell you, since you asked about it in the other thread, the 017 entries are your ISP's and necessary. :)

    Thanks Y'all for your help and replys. I did a lot of house cleaning.
    :) Renamed Realsched.exe, as was suggested, after I reinstalled
    RealOne Played as I use it and could not get Winamp or Windows Media Player to get my radio stations.Also got some good info here>http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/htlogtutorial.html#o1. Maybe I'll become an expert :D . Also downloaded Plug Ins for Ad-aware and disabled
    msmsgs.exe-I think-If not I'll unstall it the way you suggested. Also, deleted the Temp files. 2 of the 4 Plug Ins for Ad-aware would not install- message said
