Need to check |causes: Malware| off the list

Some background about this PC: The Borring part -

Nearly two years ago my brother-in-law commissioned Tigerdirect.com to build him a gaming computer. After he received it and started having errors (I would not like to go into them as I didn’t really touch the system) he called Tigerdirect.com and they sent out a technician, who after two separate visits (back to back days), replaced the motherboard, power supply and memory on the first visit and the graphics cards on the second.

After the PC still had problems and at the tech’s suggestion, we sent it back to Tigerdirect.com who tested it, stating that everything was fine according to their tests, and sent it back.

Again similar problems, this is really where I got involved, were occurring and after a short hiatus with dealing with this PC we brought it to BESTBUY and the GEEK squad. Geek squad held the PC for a few days called and said it was ok and ready for pick up.

The reason I really got involved at this point was because my brother-in-law gave it to me after he had received another PC (Dell with similar specs).

Took it home and couldn’t even boot to the OS. Farthest we could get was into the BIOS. We took it back to GEEK squad and they held it for about a week and a half, refunded the money charged and stated that it was bad memory on the graphics cards.

So back to Tigerdirect.com, after my brother-in-law spoke to a VP, the PC went. The paperwork that returned with the PC stated that the motherboard, graphics cards, memory, cpu, cables and power supply were all replaced.
Set the PC up after about a week after receiving it, boots to Windows. At this time I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.
Loaded SpyDoctor and AVG
USB plugged in my external
Found the World of Warcraft exe file – WoW is in its own folder
Played WoW (with addons-UI/mods) for about 3-4 hours with absolutely no problems

Now the problem:

Since that initial day I’ve begun to notice a lot of (non-responsive) errors, as well as other symptoms of my PC not behaving properly.
After desktop is showing on XP (after the windows logo loading screen) sometimes it will take a few minutes for the pointer hourglass to switch to an arrow. But only sometimes as other times it loads and I can click on any program-Start button-IE7, anything available and it will begin loading right up. Other times though I will wait an additional minute or two when XP loads to desktop and if I open a program or click start I get nothing but the hourglass.

Well you get my drift.
Sometimes things open straight away (even well after XP desktop loads) and sometimes they hang with a non-responsive error.

Yes I usually wait about a minute or two after I see the desktop load to begin clicking anything :-D

My biggest issue though is that I can load World of Warcraft (disabling all of the addons-UI/mods) and it will go straight through, play fine and I haven’t noticed any “buggy” effects.

Since I’m not one for a “pure” version of WoWs UI I don’t stay online long when logged in this way = bad observation?

When loading addons for some reason I will experience the same kind of problems, as if WoW gets non-responsive. I could go into additional details about the WoW issues but I won’t here as this post is long enough.

I’ve monitored GPU-Z/CPU-Z and watched the load on both gcards and cpu to drop to 0/1% while loading programs that become non-responsive if that helps any.

Ok, all done with the READ & RUN ME FIRST prompts
Headed to post and see what comes around.

I also want it known that I’ve posted on both the ATI and World of Warcraft forums and it’s been the common response to reinstall XP. Which I might have done except I currently have no generic OEM install disks (and I’d like to not resort to torrents) in which to do it. There’s no C:/i386 folder on the PC and while the laptop has it is from a Dell XP install so I’m doubtful about recreating an install disk with my resources.

My last forum exchange came off of the Windows XP forums and it came up that Malware was a possible problem, and that is why I’m here, to fix it or to check malware off the list.

I’ll admit that my troubleshooting skills suck at the moment but I’ve looked through the processes running on task manager and I’ve not been able to notice any processes out of the ordinary so I’m at a loss. And now that I’ve loaded the programs recommended for trouble shooting there are a few more entries that I’ll need to look up.
Jqs.exe
And more than double svchost.exe processes as before... this normal after intalling the programs needed for the attchaments?

[edit] last log file

 

Ty.

I will certainly uninstal my trial version of SpyDoctor.
And my apologies on the MGlog, it was late when I was finished writing the post and complteing the logs. :-o

Yea I think it's a software problem (bad Win update or something) but I needed to make sure that Malware wasn't a factor. Go go cheaklists lol.

I'll post the updated MGlog after deleting the trial version and the LOG files you posted.

Thank you!

 

Heres the MGlog

I thought I posted this one...
I'll wait a lil while incase of a dbl post

 

Many thanks! Your assistance was mucho apreciado (my spanish sucks btw) !

Now over to the software forum :-D

 

Hey I'm sorry to have to bump this but I wanted to share

So far none of the non-responsive problems have occured today.
Whatever those scans did, I believe they set things right, even if they didn't remove anything.
Currently testing programs and installing a game to test as well.
Thanks again!
