    Thanks in advance for your help! Before I transfer data onto my new computer, I need help removing issues on this older one. Logs are attached. TDSSKiller didn't find anything and I don't see a log. The issues I'm having are:

    ** Malicious host file keeping antivirus live update from running. One of the scans did find a host issue.

    ** 100% CPU shortly after I open Firefox or IE. After I close browsers svchost carries the 100% CPU useage

    I went through the steps for slow IE and ran the fix .... didn't help

    You should also know that I'm a CCleaner user and before I started this process, I cleaned the registry

    Not much to do. Just rerun RogueKiller and have it fix those host files.

    Then rerun Hitman and fix everything except the MGTools.

    What malware issues are you having, if any?

    Not necessary. Those are supposed to be looped back to local host when you use a hosts file like in Spybot or others to protect you. ;)
