    A few days ago I found PUP Conduit and other malware, such as Hacktool on my laptop.

    I did Run and Read me. I have attached the logs I obtained. Instead of sending the logs, I waited a few days to check the performance of my computer. I do not see a significant improvement. My browsers are opening slow (Chrome and Opera), and also stop responding at times.

    My desktop applications are also not performing optimally.

    I await your advise.

    Seems Malware Bytes found it. Not seeing anything else to do here in this forum. You can go ahead and post in the software forum if you need to. :)


    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
