Default Malware making computer slow after little time of use

So for about a week or so when I start my computer it runs pretty well but after sometime, roughly 15-30 minutes, it will just start to run extremely slow. Slow to the point where it takes 30-40 second to close a folder. And if there is any sound the sound slows down and gets muffled and just a hectic noise if that makes sense. I do not have very many processes running at all so its not a matter of not having enough memory. My computer should be running a lot faster than it is. Thanks in advance for all your help. My logs are posted.

The scans removed a small amount of adware from your system, but I doubt that had anything to do with your slowness. This does not appear to be a malware issue.

We can clean up a little from running the scans:

I don't know what this is, but it has been on your system since January:
C:\WINDOWS\qbbgqacx.txt

Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
Quote:
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Kazaa]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\knight]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"HideLegacyLogonScripts"=-
"HideLogoffScripts"=-
"RunLogonScriptSync"=-
"RunStartupScriptSync"=-
"HideStartupScripts"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"HideLegacyLogonScripts"=-
"HideLogoffScripts"=-
"RunLogonScriptSync"=-
"RunStartupScriptSync"=-
"HideStartupScripts"=-
Tell me if the above is successful and we will do the final cleanup to remove the programs that were downloaded.

It seems like the computer has not done it for awhile. It might have got cleaned up on those original scans. Thanks for the help

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
Quote:
  1. You can uninstall SUPERAntiSpyware now.
  2. We recommed you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware as a scanner. It uses no resources except a little disk space until you run a scan.
  3. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
    • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
    • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
      • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
      • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.

    • Delete the C:\combo-fix folder from combofix.

  4. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
  5. If we had you run RenV.exe, you can delete it and the Log.txt file on your Desktop.
  6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
  7. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
  8. If running Vista, 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.
  9. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
  10. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
  11. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    • Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

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