    Hello Xnitro67,

    I did not find any malware in your logs. Please run these additional scans:

    [​IMG] I want you to read and follow these instructions: TDSSKiller - How to run

    __

    [​IMG] Please download OTL by OldTimer.

    • Save it to your desktop.
    • Right mouse click on the OTL icon on your desktop and select Run as Administrator
    • Check the "Scan All Users" checkbox.
    • Check the "Standard Output".
    • Change the setting of "Drivers" and "Services" to "All"
    • Copy the text in the code box below and paste it into the [​IMG] text-field.
      Code:
      activex
      netsvcs
      %windir%\system32\drivers\*.sys /lockedfiles
      
    • Now click the [​IMG] button.
    • Two reports will be generated:
      • OTL.txt <-- Will be opened

    This time if TDSS File System appears, delete it!
    Then attach the latest TDSSKiller log. (How to attach)

    These log are clean too but there are some Windows problems that I believe are causing the system to hang.

    Try this because I need to get some more information.

    Well the main problem I'm trying to fix for you now is this:

    This is occurring practically every minute according to Extras.txt and I suspect is the culprit of browser related software being sluggish.

    Now run the attached ev_clear.bat
    It should run very quickly and close itself, no log produced.

    Then reboot your computer, let me know if everything is still OK upon reboot.

    Can you take a picture of all your tray icons?

    It might be because you have a few extra network connections:

    Code:
    Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection 3
    Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection 2
    Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection [COLOR="Indigo"]<== what you're currently connected to[/COLOR]
    Ethernet adapter Bluetooth Network Connection

    Interesting. If you think it's a problem, seek additional help in the Software or Networking forum.
