    My computer has been running slow lately, although intermittently. Sometimes takes 5 minutes to close or minimize a window. Same time lag when attempting to end a program or after clicking "restart" to restart the computer. Attached are the logs. I would appreciate some help to see if there is anything unusual in the logs. I'm afraid to use the computer because one of my other home computers was infected with a key logger and I think this one might be infected too.
    It's a Vista 64 bit system so I didn't run Combofix or RootRepeal per your instructions.
    Thank you

    Your logs are clean. I would suggest that you post in the software section for further assistance.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no real-time protection. They are useful as backup scanners.They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    [*]Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    [*]Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click 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.
    [*]If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:

    • Refer to the cleaning procedures in step 3 the READ ME for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    • Then reboot and Enable System Restore ato create a new clean Restore Point.
    After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
