I could not run DDS as it said I didn't have a program associated with it to run it., so here's the HijackThis logfile: any help you can offer would be fantastic, thanks thinkin about it now, I had also reloaded all my DAZ/Poser 3D content back on to drive D too, and unzipped some of it, so maybe the problem was not the windows update after all. I hasxn't got service pack 1 on it as I system restroed after doing all the updates - as that seemed to be when it started runnuing slow. I'm running Windows 7 home premium on an acer aspire 7738G, Intel Core2 Duo16600, NVIDIA GeforceGT240M, $gb memory and 1TB hd. I did manage eventually to get comodo working again (altho for some reason it was not loading at startup it is now) and use EEK and Malwarebytes, with results as above.

I tried to update the antivirus on this pc when I revived it after it lying around for a year or so, and I could not update or run avira or panda cloud.

(Hence moving to this older one in the hope of it not happening here!)īasically it just starts to slow down, I get the blue circle spinning slower and slower, some processes can take half an hour or more or it just goes black, then I have to restart. Think I may have rather stupidly copied it over from my other newer laptop which was behaving in the same way even after reloading windows, updating all drivers, scanning etc.

a few spywares found and a trojan in recycle bin, plus rrupt (?) in temp files and skype setup. I don't know what the problem is, I have scanned using malwarebytes, comodo and EEK.
