    Hey,

    Yesterday I noticed that when I tried to run programs such as FireFox, Or Google Chrome, Games, and other misc programs they lagged, froze and were pretty much unresponsive and slow, I also noticed that MSN used about 100% of my CPU all the time, and 3.8GB of ram (Out of 4) at the moment im writing this, the Performance is: Spu Usage 7-20%, 1.54 gb, and it fluxes abit, but its stable, but I don't know for how long. It's incredibly annoying, considering i want to play my games as a gamer, and surf the web, or use MSN to stay in contact with my overseas friends.

    I know im supposed to post a Hijak this log or something but I have no idea where to get the program..

    The things Ive done is:

    Complete re installation of Vista X64
    Scanned with SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY
    Got Avast Anti Virus Installed.
    Updated with every single update from the Automatic Updater
    And also scanned with CraP Cleaner.

    Thanks for any advice/help!

    Greetings, Gainward...

    HijackThis should not be taken lightly - it might be best if you ran through the steps listed in the Malware Forum's Read and Run Me First thread, just to make sure your machine is clean...

    As stated, if you think you are having issues with malware, please follow the READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide and post your logs in a new thread in the Malware forum.

    We are not a Hijack this reading forum. Rarely is it a sufficient tool to help with the complete removal of malware and oftentimes the malware doesn't show up in the logs.

    If you are not sure it is malware, then please state as much detail as you can about your computer specs. You can also look and see what is starting up when your computer boots up. Sometimes that will cause problems with slowness.
