I think I may have a problem.

My computer is incredibly slow when playing online games, such as WOW and Wizard101, as well as incredibly choppy with streaming video. This is a new occurrence and has only been happening in the last week or two. I also tried to defrag my hard drive and this error message came up:
MMA cannot open the file c:\WINDOWS\system32\dfrg.msc
This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.

I have been able to defrag my hard drive before, so this sent up alarm bells. I also ran a speed check through shaw and my internet connection seems fine.
If you could help me find out why gaming is all of a sudden so laggy and I cannot defrag my hard drive I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to the forums!

My name is Gringo and I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems. HijackThis logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me. I know that you need your computer working as quickly as possible, and I will work hard to help see that it happens.

Please do not run any other tool untill instructed to do so!
Please reply to this thread, do not start another!
Please tell me about any problems that have occurred during the fix.
Please tell me of any other symptoms you may be having as these can help also.
Please try as much as possible not to run anything while executing a fix.

If you follow these instructions, everything should go smoothly.

  Don't use the Analyse This button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
  Don't have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
