Greetings!

It looks clean. However, I do want to know what ‘minori’ is, as I’ve never heard of it.
You might want to get rid of those (will save you a few MB RAM):
O4 - HKLM..\Run: [SoundMan] SOUNDMAN.EXE
O4 - HKLM..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] “C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_06\bin\jusched.exe”

I think all the IME-entries and ctfmon.exe is necessary for MS Office to work properly.

Cheers,
Ragwing

If you want to disable the Java Update Scheduler, better than editing the registry manually go to “control panel > java > update” tab. About soundman:

http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/soundman.exe/

You can use the task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and go to the “processes” tab to check how much memory each of your processes uses.

You don’t need to edit it manually by using the registry. As it’s from the HijackThis-log, you can just fix it from there…

Oh I guess so. But I’d still prefer doing it the way Java expects it to be done. Anyway I don’t think jusched takes up too many resources.

[ at ] Ragwig: minori is a Japanese game production house. It’s just a game folder. :slight_smile:
