    Hi There,
    Sorry couldnt help making a joke out of the speed of my machine.....
    You've just had a look at another machine for me and in the process of that this one has slowed down so much.

    In order to get the browser up today I had to reset its priorites in task manager processes to high otherwise it just sat there. Opened my computer and about 10mins of the torch rolling around before it displayed icons. Everything I do appears latently on screen. The text I type appears about 3 words behind.

    I've carried out the scans on this and attach.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Your problem with this PC is not malware. It is lack of adequate memory and an old processor style. Your logs show
    Code:
    Processor x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 1 GenuineIntel ~2992 Mhz 
     
    Total Physical Memory 1,024.00 MB 
    Available Physical Memory 168.74 MB
    
    And also you are running a load of stuff I would not run but that is a topic for the Software Forum ( similar to your other thread ;) )

    Ah ha, I think its failed as the PC came with 2, Dell had to replace one of the shortly after I bought the PC and did wonder if it would happen again.

    I think XP had just come out at the time so you got the free upgrade to run it.

    This doesnt mean anything in hitman pro then?

    Entropy (or randomness) indicates the program is encrypted, compressed or obfuscated. This is not typical for most programs.
    Program is impersonating a common Windows system file. This is typical for malware.

    Nope. You should know the answer to that since you put it there. ;) It is just a renamed copy of RogueKiller that you should not have there. Instructions for downloading and running these tools ask that you put them on your Desktop.

    Ok cool, not ssure why thats there but will sort.

    So its removing the faulty memory and getting a replacement.
    I remember when it went before, just taking out the faulty one while I waited for the new one to arrive the PC ran much better in the interim.

    Will have an ask in the software section after its done.

    Big thanks (must do those last bits from the other posts).

    You'e welcome.


    Yes, since you are not having malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Go back to step 4 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    3. 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.
    4. If running Vista or Win 7, 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.
    5. 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.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
