Right. I was having problems with my computer using RAM when idle, 580mb to be precise, and someone suggested I should run HJT, so I did.. but what does the log mean :eek:

Thanks :)
 
Where what how?

Already scanned my computer with Adaware, Spybot and AVG
 
I might have overreacted...
C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe and massive ram usage are the sign of the sasser worm (lsass.exe is always present though- its a windows .exe) you might want to try the removal tool anyway.. and see what it finds..
OR
It could be some other crap you have loaded ;) like:
C:\Program Files\TGTSoft\StyleXP\StyleXPS ervice.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\Stardock\ SDMCP.exe
or C:\Program Files\Kerio\Personal Firewall 4\kpf4gui.exe (which is running 3 instances)
I don't know what C:\Program Files\Globe Software\StatBar\StatBar.exe is

and... what the hell is "C:\WINDOWS\System32\rundll32.e xe" i think thats a virus too..

EDIT: rundll32.exe is ok.. but its the space there that bugs me...
 
rundll32.exe isnt a virus, its a pretty common file (which runs .dlls surprisingly D: )

Click to expand...

but theres stuff like this:
The strange associations of rundll

Anyway.. go CTRL+ALT+DEL and tell us how much memory LSASS.EXE is using..
(and whats taking the most.. to be exact..) -only works if you are using 2000/xp
 
In order of usage:

Firefox.exe 43,232k
explorer.exe 21,176k
svchost.exe 15,660k
msnmgr.exe 14,404k

:eek:

RAM is at 410mb use.

how the hell!?! you must have hundreds of apps running!
 
Nope.. just MSN, mIRC, Kerio, FireFox, ATi CP, Remote Wonder and Xear 3d.

My RAM usuage has always been like that.. any idea what causes it?

Ill keep that in mind :D I think I downloaded a file and it gave me the virus but then I made the mistake of downloading it again a couple of weeks later cause I forgot about the virus. Silly old me :x
 
Well looking at the log, and the processes you have running, I am not surprised you would get some RAM usage but not that much. Is that honestly your computer in idle? All those apps running? My computer has only 20 processes running when it idles. Best thing to do is go to www.answersthatwork.com then check each process whether it is ok to run in the background or not.

If its not ok then theres several ways it can be disabled, one is by going Start->Run->Msconfig. Then go to startup, anything that should not be running in the background just uncheck it, save and reset.

If it isn't displayed there then, go Start->Run->Services.msc and look in there, once you find it, right click stop, then right click->properties->Start Up Type->Disabled.

Then the final way is in the registry, Start->Run->Regedit->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->MICROSOFT->WINDOWS->Current Version->Run. On the right will be all the values of stuff that is starting up. To stop them, just right click and delete.

Hopefully by the end of it you will have a lot less processes running.


Just looking at your processes I can tell some stuff should be disabled.

Yeah, when that was done, mIRC was running, so I wasn't strictly idle.

Anyone know a good method of measuring RAM usage?
 
If you're using Win2k or XP, just use control alt delete and then click task manager. (performance tab)

If you could give a list of your processes with how much ram they're using when you consider the comp "idle," that would help. Start up fresh, don't turn anything off or on. Just press ctrl+alt+delete, go to the processes tab, and press print screen. Then go in to paint and paste the image in, then crop it to only the processes and put it up here or host it on imageshack. That would be immensely helpful.

Also, try snooping around in services.msc (run->services.msc) and see if there's anything in there that shouldn't be running. I like to use www.blackviper.com as a reference to make sure I don't turn anything sensitive off.
 
There isn't anything running that shouldn't be according to services.msc

I've used regedit to get msconfig running again. Nothing is starting that it shouldn't be.

Doing request :)

Done. RAM used when idle = 315mb
 
No terribly helpful Sidey. Well, those proceses don't add up to 315, closer to 200.
 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

heres what i do to get as much ram as possible and keep it that way. i have a logoff script which executes this regfile. so no matter what piece of spyware or other crap i install wants to start up, i dont let it. then all thats left is common startup(startup folder). i think its BS that windows has 3 startup folders, 2 of which are only accessible in the registry, which is why i clear them when i logoff. but i usually leave the common startup because you can plainly see what goes in that easily, which is why IT should be used for things you want to startup.

anyway from there, msconfig, then id disable all NON-MS services, except nvidia users might need a file called nvcpl if they want to access ctrl panel, not 100% sure on that though.

i would start from here, and put only what you want in common startup so you know EXACTLY what starts up and takes ram.
 
I've haxed about with help from Snakey^ and now I'm using approx 100mb RAM idle :D
