Hi I don't know if I am infected with any malware, but my laptop seems to have been operating slowly lately, and takes over 5 minutes to boot into XP. I have tried all of your suggestions in the post on the forum regarding slow runing pc's and it has not made a noticable difference, so I thought that it would be best to post a hijack this log, especially since you just got my friends pc working fine. I would be gratedul for any advice.

I will be installing your suggestions - does the free version of malwarebytes offer sufficient protection?

Have a great weekend.

You can use the Malwarebytes Antimalware free as a scanner if you want real-time protection you need to buy the pro version. Can you post here when you have seen this message that this can be archived.

Thank you.
