    Hi

    I have just followed the malware removal steps (again ;) and everything seems to be working. However I have downloaded Avira antivirus/spyware combo and it is not allowing me to update telling me "scheduler has not been started". The Antivir guard is stopped and I cannot work out how to start it. I have tried to reinstall the .exe file using repair function but still no joy :(

    Have you just finished having your logs looked at by one of the malware fighters? If not, you need to attach the requested logs so we can be sure you are clean.

    Hi

    I am still having problems especially at startup. Very slow. Hard drive clicking away. takes about 15 minutes before I can do anything properly :(

    Before doing malware removal PF usage was very high at 1gb. Now it is down to 500mb. But svchost .exe was hogging CPU this morning. I am attaching logs from malware removal I did about a week ago. combofix seemed to be the one that sorted things out at the time.
    At the moment I am running avast anti-virus, pc tools firewall plus, spyware terminator. I have spybot and spyware blaster to run on demand.

    Many thanks for your help.

    I need new logs, not logs from a week ago. Too much could have changed in that time. Plus you have 3 AV programs running:
    AV: AntiVir Desktop *Disabled/Outdated* {AD166499-45F9-482A-A743-FDD3350758C7}
    AV: Lavasoft Ad-Watch Live! Anti-Virus *Disabled/Updated* {A1C4F2E0-7FDE-4917-AFAE-013EFC3EDE33}
    AV: PC Tools AntiVirus Free

    Make sure to include the C:\MGLogs.zip.
