    I'm not actually sure it's malware or virus related but I have noticed my computer has been running slower than usual and having issues updating. I have attached the logs below and hope you can tell me something. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Re run Hitman Pro and have it remove all that it finds EXCEPT :

    Which is obviously not malware. ;)

    Hitman Pro will not let me delete/remove anything b/c the free trial has expired. Is there alternative you can recommend?

    I have not completed the other steps b/c I wanted to be sure to do the steps in the order you instructed.

    Thanks.

    Uninstall Google Chrome using Revo Uninstaller.

    Now run CCleaner.

    Run Hitman again. Attach the log.

    Did you already reinstall Google Chrome before running Hitman again? :confused

    Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.

    • Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
    • Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator
    • Click on the Scan button.
    • AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
    • After the scan has finished, click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R#].txt) will open in Notepad for review (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
    • The contents of the log file may be confusing. Unless you see a program name that you know should not be removed, don't worry about it. If you see an entry you want to keep, let me know about it.
    • Attach the logfile to your next next reply.
    • A copy of all logfiles are saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder which was created when running the tool.

    Run the Adwcleaner I just linked you to, and then do this afterwards:

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista, Windows7 or Win8) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.
