Ok, thanks.
We will try it out for a day or two (we have a long holiday coming up so it might take 6 days before we answer in worst case)

If you have any good idea on how we might be able to check the HW, HD/RAM and so on, i would be glad to any ideas

A big thanks so far, no we will see how this computer copes (the other one runs well)

Hi Joshen,
A big thanks so far

My pleasure.
We will try it out for a day or two (we have a long holiday coming up so it might take 6 days before we answer in worst case)

Your logs appear to be clean now, so you should be good to go.
I can keep this topic open for three days, after that it will be closed if you haven't replied.
If you have any good idea on how we might be able to check the HW, HD/RAM and so on, i would be glad to any ideas

If you are having any HW, HD/RAM issues, i can direct you to a general help forum if you wish, let me know in your next reply.
Saw that it was a lot of data in the temp directories, do you think that could cause the friezing? apparently (according to my wife) it gets worse between the cleanups i make once and a while?


A suggestion to a good forums is not bad to have if we still have the issue.


I have an issue that you might be able to help me with (having problems to find solutions on the net)
After my re installation i installed VLC again, but the strange thing is that the icon in the exe file and taskbar is missing (shows a missing icon).
Cant seem to get them back... dont understand what the issue is

Have a similar issue with bookmarks in Firefox (but i dont think that is up your alley)

If we dont "chat" again thanks a lot for your help
Im sure i will get in contact with you again, as for many of as know anything about computers we are called upon for support :-)

Thanks for the excellent support
Hi Joshen,
Thanks for the excellent support

You're most welcome.

You should "clean up" on a regular basis, that should help with freezing problems.
I clean out all temp files and such each day.

Here are some excellent Tech sites (in no particular order) that may be able to help with the problems you are sill having:



If anyone asks if you've been checked for malware, please feel free to refer them to this topic.

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Clean up with OTL

  • Right click on OTL.exe And select Run as administrator to run it.
  • This will remove some of the tools we used to clean your pc.
  • Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
  • On the OTL main screen, press the CleanUp! button
  • Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.


You can now delete any tools/logs we used if they remain on your Desktop.

Please read the article below which will give you a few suggestions for how to minimise your chances of getting another infection.


If your computer is running slowly after your clean up, please read.


I would be grateful if you could reply to this post so that I know you have read it and, if you've no other questions, the thread can be closed.

Safe surfing!
Cleaned it all and so far all is working fine.
Thanks for the help

Good to hear and you're welcome :)
