Firefox Speed Tweak

This is a more in depth guide to speeding up Mozilla Firefox than some other guides. This guide was made so that any computer could become faster, not just a fast computer with a fast connection.

First, install the ChromEdit Plus extension.(Get it here: http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html#top) It makes it easier to edit user files.
Now, run Firefox, go to Tools > Edit User Files, click user.js tab.
Insert the following texts based on your PC speed and internet connection.

Here’s a little key:
Fast Computer is greater than 1.5Ghz CPU and atleast 512MB RAM
Fast Connection is DSL or cable or better.

Common to all configurations

These are the settings that seem to be common to all configuration files regardless of connection speed or computer speed with a couple of additions - plugin paths can be found with about:plugins and the bookmark menu delay is turned off.

/* Speed Tweak - Common to all Configurations */
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", ;
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);
user_pref("ui.submenuDelay", 0);

Fast Computer Fast Connection

/* Speed Tweak - Fast Computer Fast Connection */
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", ;
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

A couple settings of note - Firefox allocates 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.

Fast Computer, Slower Connection

This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast connections. We are not talking about dial up connections but slower DSL / Cable connections.

/* Speed Tweak - Fast Computer, Slower Connection */
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", ;
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

Fast Computer, Slow Connection

/* Speed Tweak - Fast Computer, Slow Connection */
user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true);
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 8191);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", ;
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", ;
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

Slow Computer, Fast Connection

/* Speed Tweak - Slow Computer, Fast Connection */
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 1000000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 1000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 4095);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 1000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", ;
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);

One of the changes made for this particular configuration is the final line where the status bar is disabled for changing web pages to save processor time.

Slow Computer, Slow Connection

We have entered the doldrums of the dial-up user

/* Speed Tweak - Slow Computer, Slow Connection */
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 750);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", ;
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", ;
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);

Another Tweak

/* Speed Tweak - Another Tweak */
user_pref("network.dns.disableIPv6", true);

This tweak deactivates IPv6 in Firefox, because most if not all of the web is still using IPv4. IPv4 and v6 are internet protocols… how the data is transferred… v4 is the standard now and v6 is slowly being implemented around the world… it wont come into full swing until 2008-2010 sadly… it’s a huge infrastructure change, but the benefits will be great.

WORM_XPBAGUIO.A

Derived from Trend Micro.

http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM%5FXPBAGUIO%2EA&VSect=T

Technical Details

Arrival Details

This worm may arrive via network shares. It may also arrive via physical and removable drives.

Autostart Techniques

This worm creates the following registry entry(ies) to enable its automatic execution at every system startup:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
WindowNT = "%System%\exiplorer.exe"

(Note: %System% is the Windows system folder, which is usually C:\Windows\System on Windows 98 and ME, C:\WINNT\System32 on Windows NT and 2000, or C:\Windows\System32 on Windows XP and Server 2003.)

Other System Modifications

This worm creates the following registry key(s)/entry(ies) as part of its installation routine:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
LegalNoticeCaption = "PROMISE???"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
LegalNoticeText = "I am still waiting for the strawberry coming from my Baguio! Pls.. Help!"

Propagation via Network Shares, Physical, and Removable Drives

This worm enumerates drives and drops copies of itself in all available network shares, physical, and removable drives.

It drops an AUTORUN.INF file to automatically execute dropped copies when the drives are accessed. The said file contains the following strings:

[autorun]
shellexecute= {Malware file name}.exe

Other Details

This worm displays the following message box(es):

Platforms Affected

This worm runs on Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, and Server 2003.

Solution:

Identifying the Malware Program

To remove this malware, first identify the malware program.

1. Scan your computer with your Trend Micro antivirus product.
2. NOTE the path and file name of all files detected as WORM_XPBAGUIO.A.

Trend Micro customers need to download the latest virus pattern file before scanning their computer. Other users can use Housecall, the Trend Micro online virus scanner.

Terminating the Malware Program

This procedure terminates the running malware process. You will need the name(s) of the file(s) detected earlier.

If the process you are looking for is not in the list displayed by Task Manager, proceed to the succeeding solution set.

1. Open Windows Task Manager.
   • On Windows 98 and ME, press
   CTRL+ALT+DELETE
   • On Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Server 2003, press
   CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, then click the Processes tab.
2. In the list of running programs*, locate the malware file(s) detected earlier.
3. Select one of the detected files, then press either the End Task or the End Process button, depending on the version of Windows on your computer.
4. Do the same for all detected malware files in the list of running processes.
5. To check if the malware process has been terminated, close Task Manager, and then open it again.
6. Close Task Manager.

*NOTE: On computers running Windows 98 and ME, Windows Task Manager may not show certain processes. You can use a third party process viewer such as Process Explorer to terminate the malware process.

On computers running all Windows platforms, if the process you are looking for is not in the list displayed by Task Manager or Process Explorer, continue with the next solution procedure, noting additional instructions. If the malware process is in the list displayed by either Task Manager or Process Explorer, but you are unable to terminate it, restart your computer in safe mode.

Removing Autostart Entry from the Registry

Removing autostart entries from the registry prevents the malware from executing at startup.

If the registry entry below is not found, the malware may not have executed as of detection. If so, proceed to the succeeding solution set.

1. Open Registry Editor. Click Start>Run, type REGEDIT, then press Enter.
2. In the left panel, double-click the following:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>
   Windows>CurrentVersion>Run
3. In the right panel, locate and delete the entry:
   WindowNT = "%System%\exiplorer.exe"
   (Note: %System% is the Windows system folder, which is usually C:\Windows\System on Windows 98 and ME, C:\WINNT\System32 on Windows NT and 2000, or C:\Windows\System32 on Windows XP and Server 2003.)

Removing Added Registry Entries

1. Still in the Registry Editor, in the left panel, double-click the following:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>
   Windows NT>CurrentVersion>Winlogon
2. In the right panel, locate and delete the entry:
   LegalNoticeCaption = "PROMISE???"
3. In the left panel, double-click the following:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>
   Windows NT>CurrentVersion>Winlogon
4. In the right panel, locate and delete the entry:
   LegalNoticeText = "I am still waiting for the strawberry coming from my Baguio! Pls.. Help!"
   
5. Close Registry Editor.

Restoring AUTORUN.INF

1. Right-click Start then click Search… or Find…, depending on the version of Windows you are running.
2. In the Named input box, type:
   AUTORUN.INF
3. In the Look In drop-down list, select a drive, then press Enter.
4. Select the file, then open using Notepad.
5. Check if the following lines are present in the file:
   [autorun]
   shellexecute= {Malware file name}.exe
6. If the lines are present, delete the file.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for AUTORUN.INF files in the remaining removable drives.
8. Close Search Results.

Running Trend Micro Antivirus

If you are currently running in safe mode, please restart your computer normally before performing the following solution.

Scan your computer with Trend Micro antivirus and delete files detected as WORM_XPBAGUIO.A. To do this, Trend Micro customers must download the latest virus pattern file and scan their computer. Other Internet users can use HouseCall, the Trend Micro online virus scanner.
