PC freezes every 30-40 secs for about 5-10 secs

Please re run Hitman Pro and have it delete Potential Unwanted Programs.


Delete this:

• C:\Documents and Settings\owner\Local Settings\Application Data\blekkotb_031

Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

• R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://blekko.com/ws/?source=c3348d...CD29A82C9F1FC704872CCF4FC61405E8&tbp=homepage

After clicking Fix exit HJT.

• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

Let me know how the computer is behaving now.

 

Delete them.

For this, I will need the full path for the reg key please.

A junkified search engine.

 

Can you scan with JRT in safe mode?

 

Please download Combofix to your desktop. Please refer to these instructions prior to running.
Attach log once done.

 

I really don't think your problems have anything to do with malware. I suggest you post about the freezing in the software forum.

 

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Press and hold the Windows key http://forums.majorgeeks.com/chaslang/images/Windows_Logo_key.gif and then press the letter R on your keyboard. This opens the Run dialog box.
   • Copy and paste the below into the Run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
     • Notes: The space between the combofix and the /uninstall, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
3. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
5. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
6. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
7. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
