    Hi there,
    I am really hoping someone out there could help me out. I believe I have gotten some type of malware or virus on my computer. It seems to be causing Internet explorer to be acting extremely slow, to the point it appears almost frozen. It affects my homepage, but when I make it to google it seems fine but acts up again when I navigate to any other page from my search. I notice that something seems to launch in the background when I am running IE, it almost looks like a little DOS window that opens and closes really quickly. At one point, it closed slowly enough that I could read the name “macromedia flash” on the window. That prompted me to uninstall macromedia flash from my programs list; however, I still had the same issue occur. I couldn’t seem to figure out what may have occurred to cause it; however, my wife indicated when she and her friends were planning a bachelorette party they “accidently” clicked on a link and “dirty pictures” came up.
    I have been following the instructions for malware removal through the sticky on this forum, and below is what I have done thus far.
    - Scanned using Spybot Search and Destroy (nothing detected)
    - Scanned using AVG free antivirus (nothing detected)
    - Scanned using Malwarebyte’s (nothing detected)
    - Scanned using Super Anti Spyware (Detected 1 adaware tracking cookie)
    - Used Combo Fix (log attached)
    - Used MG Tools (log attached)
    I thought it may be an issue with Adobe Flash, so I uninstalled that and it is working a little better; however, I am still a little suspicious that something is still on here.
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    I am not seeing any malware on your system. Do your issues occur when running FIreFox? Have you cleaned out your IE temp files?

    You could try one of the alternative scans here:
