    Hi,
    My computer has slowed down to the point of death. AVG antivirus isn't throwing anything up so I'm convinced it must be malware. I've looked at the suggestions before posting Hijackthis script but no joy. Can anyone help me out?

    Edit: Removed inline log

    Cheers guys

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Sorry your post was highlighted by the spamfilter as it had an inline hijackthis log.

    One first reason your PC will be slow is that by your Hijackthis log you are running two antivirus applicatiosn as in McAfee and AVG, two Antivirus applications running at once will slow your PC down as they are both trying to scan the same files... you will need to uninstall one of them, if McFee is paid and upto date keep that.

    Then to find out if malware is also slowing your PC down please follow the below step by step and attach the requested logs.

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

    Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around.




    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too:
      • CounterSpy
      • AVG Antispyware log - ONLY IF NEEDED you were not able to run CounterSpy
      • Bitdefender - from step 6
      • Panda Scan - from step 6
      • runkeys.txt - the log from GetRunKey.bat
      • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
      • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!
