Slow startup and slow running of programs

I am not seeing any malware in your logs. We can remove some left over junk:

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:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now copy just the bold text below to notepad (Do not include any space above the word REGEDIT). Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.

Please go here and download and run the AVG Removal Tool.

As far as your "slowness" issues, you should post in the software forum and post with answers to these questions:

A slow computer is not always due to malware:

Please explain what operations are slow! For example answer the below:

* Is boot up slow?
* Is shutdown slow?
* Is browsing/surfing slow?
* Is downloading slow?
* Is running any application?
* Is it also slow in safe boot mode?
* Also are any process showing in Task Manager to be using a lot of CPU time?
* Anything else slow?

Since you are not having any 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 do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.We recommend them for doing backup scans when you suspect a malware infection.
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.)
   
   • Click START then RUN and enter 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. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
6. If running Vista, 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.
7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
8. 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.
9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of 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 to create a new clean Restore Point.
   
   
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

Whilst Tim is offline let's have you do this:

Important Notice: A new version of SUPERAntiSpyware is available.

• Please uninstall your current version (this is necessary).
• Then download this SUPERAntiSpyware
• Install this new version. It may tell you that you need to reboot to complete the installation. You must reboot at this time.
• After the reboot, run SUPERAntiSpyware and immediately click the Check for Updates button to get more updates for the database.
• Now run a new full scan of your system. And attach this log later.

Java(TM) 6 Update 20 <--- uninstall outdated Java

Now go to this MGTools and download the new version of MGtools.exe. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one. (You do not have a copy any more if you followed final steps so you do not have to overwrite if that is the case.) The pprevious copy you had was very outdated.

I want you to run TDSSKiller so refer to the below for how to do so.

TDSSkiller - How to run

Reboot your machine and install the most current and up to date version of Java available here at the below link:

Java Runtime 6

Now run the new C:\MGTools.exe and attach the new C:\MGLogs.zip

 

Urgh. Are you still not able to use safe mode either?

I may have to send you off to the software forum but you must return when you are up and running again.

If you really cannot run anything to provide us information that we need to perform a proper diagnosis, your option would be to use another PC to try create one or more of the below CDs to boot from that allow you to run scans and perform many other tasks without Windows even being loaded. Sometimes this can help to get you started when all else fails. They can even help in cases where a previous scan may have removed something that resulted in your PC being unbootable.

• Avira Rescue CD
• AVG Rescue CD
• BitDefender Rescue USB
• F-Secure Rescue CD
• Kaspersky Rescue Disk.
• SystemRescueCD
• Trinity Rescue CD

 

So you are able to get in via normal mode, it just takes a long time, correct?

If so then please follow as much of my instructions in post # 6 as possible.

 

OK that found and removed a bootkit infection. Can you run it again to be sure it is clear this time?

 

I have not time to go through the mglogs yet however try this

NOTE: If you get a blue screen type crash when trying to run the scan then after reboot, configure the below options and rescan
Run SuperAntiSpyware
In SUPERAntiSpyware under Configuration and Preferences, click the Preferences button.
Click the Scanning Control tab.
Under Scanner Options uncheck the below two options
Use Kernel Direct File Access (recommended)
Use Kernel Direct Registry Access (recommended)
Then try doing a new Complete.
After the scan is complete, a Scan Summary box will appear with potentially harmful items that were detected. Click "OK".
Make sure everything has a checkmark next to it and click "Next".
A notification will appear that Quarantine and Removal is Complete. Click OK and then click the Finish button to return to the main menu.
If asked if you want to reboot, click Yes.
Reboot into normal Windows boot mode

If it still crashes then you can try http://www.superantispyware.com/onlinescan.html

Reboot immediately after scanning if it finds and removes anything. Let me know if anything was found. It does not save a log.

 

Follow Kes's advice and try running SAS> however, I am not finding any malware in your logs. I am beginning to think you may need to go into the software forum to diagnose your BSOD's.

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:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now copy just the bold text below to notepad (Do not include any space above the word REGEDIT). Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.

 

Did you save it as "All Files" in the type box?

 

Not ascii. ALL FILES.

 

Should have worked. The reg fix was a backup in case HJT didn't fix it. But either way, neither of the items are significant to your issues. The error code seems to point to either a bad ram stick or a dying cmos battery. How old is this computer?

 

It very well could be your cmos battery going dead. You might consider replacing it. I am not real worried about the reg fix. Just run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).Make sure that you watch for the license agreement for TrendMicro HijackThis and click on the Accept button TWICE to accept ( yes twice ) and attach the new MGLogs.zip to see if they were fixed.

 

Attach the TDSSKiller log if this is a recent scan. You will probably need to post in the software forum to diagnose the BSOD issue.

Also please try running the below online scan:

http://www.superantispyware.com/onlinescan.html

Reboot immediately after scanning if it finds and removes anything. Let me know if anything was found. It does not save a log.

 

As I already suggested to you, you should post in the software forum to diagnose the BSOD issue. You can also discuss your slowness issues, after giving some additional info about that in your software thread:

Please explain what operations are slow! For example answer the below:

* Is boot up slow?
* Is shutdown slow?
* Is browsing/surfing slow?
* Is downloading slow?
* Is running any application?
* Is it also slow in safe boot mode?
* Also are any process showing in Task Manager to be using a lot of CPU time?
* Anything else slow?

 

You are most welcome. I will try to keep an eye on your software thread. Safe surfing.
