    My computer has been browsing slow and error messages about scripts not running appear often so I did all of the steps you recommended and would like you to see if I have anything to fix. After running one of the scans I got a message about a group of malware which started with zwalertresumethread and other similar names so I think I may need your help. I will attach all of the logs. Thank you

    Fix what Hitman found. Otherwise I am not seeing any malware. What exact issues are you having?

    Thank you for the quick response. I have an old computer using XP and I expect it to run poorly. I use a dos enterprise software program for my business and I need to keep using XP or older, other wise I would upgrade. Firefox is has gotten slower maybe because each update gets less compatible with XP and my computers software drivers etc. I can hear my hard disk spinning away quite often. I also get messages that a script has stopped running on various websites I go on. From time to time I run through the Malware removal procedure just to make sure it looks okay but this time after the RK scan I was directed to a website about SSDT Hook Antiroots and several files like ZwAlertResumeThread. After I googled the files it seemed like a problem you should look at for me. I did rerun Hitman and had it delete the 2 items it found.

    What browser are you using? You may be having slowness due to the lack of ram. Your logs show you have:
    Total Physical Memory 2,048.00 MB
    Available Physical Memory 637.13 MB

    If you are using Firefox, it is a bit of a resource hog. Have you tried a different browser?

    Not lately. Should I try Chrome?
