Computer Running Slow - ComboFix Log Enclosed

6 min read

This thread's last reply is from June 12, 2008, 1:15 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

Hello. First, I want to thank you in advance for your help. I really do appreciate you taking the time to try and help me with my problem.

I have used Spybot S&D as well as Ad-Aware to disinfect my computer as best as possible. Then I used ComboFix and received a log file. I will paste the log below.

My main problem is that my computer is running significantly slower than usual. I don't really understand why. It takes time for programs to open and load, but typically, once they are open, they run smoothly. I have used the Disk Defragmenter tool, as well as the Disk Cleanup tool, but to no avail has it helped.

Thank you again...My log is below:

Hi rothschilda

First of all, you are not supposed to run any tools like ComboFix unsupervised as it can cause damage.

Click here to download HJTInstall.exe
  • Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
  • Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
  • Click on Install.
  • It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
  • Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
  • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  • DO NOT use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
  • DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
