    Hi All,
    Toshiba C655D laptop, 3.00 GB memory, AMD E-240 1.5 GHz, Windows 7 home.
    PC is running very slowly, all browsers unresponsive.
    I have run CCleaner and run the suggested scans from this Read Me First page.
    Please take a look and see if you can pinpoint what might be causing this (other than added memory,which is on order).

    thank you

    Bryan

    Yes, just a severe lack of RAM. You can re run RogueKiller though, and on the Files tab have it remove this entry:

    [Hj.Name][File] C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Tific\Download\DllHost.exe -> Found


    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. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    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, 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.
    5. 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.
    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:

    Hi Kestrel13!,
    thank you for the help. I removed the Rogue Killer entry and will finish the cleanup steps.
