    Hello

    First I would like to say is that when this laptop has been recovered to it's original state the same problems persist....Multiple chrome process, sluggish at times, 'Not responding' message. No problems have been found with the antivirus scans or spyware but a few PUP's have been with the ADWcleaner.

    I have noticed that that there is a windows backup created in the drive D somehow and has been deleted a few times only to return again and have attached pics for this.

    Have also attached a few other logs...

    Any advice would be well appreciated with this. Thanks you :)

    Re: Log assessment - Possible infection - Lenovo G550

    :-D Thanks. I think this calls for the next step which would be to wipe the HD altogether and fresh install a new Windows 7 OS & Drivers.

    There is high CPU usage associated with the processes and the win backup keeps reappearing in the D partition and uses up all the space there and the laptop becomes very sluggish to being unusable and not a normal routine process for the machine.

    I thought it best to rule out any possible Malware infection even if the possibility was insignificant :-o and TY for that have a good day! Time for next step...

    You're welcome. You don't need to reinstall. Just disable the Windows Backup. It is not enbled by default. You must have enabled it at some point and told it to use the local harddrive rather than an external drive.
