Slow computer or virus?

Hi,

My computer has been running slow for a while, I suspect something is in the background but wasn't sure until the last few days. I've noticed that when I left the computer on overnight (I shut close all apps, then turn of the screen, but leave the computer on) the last few mornings when I have gone to my computer, the machine has been running really fast - sounds like it's going to take off & the CPU is running at 100%. I've had to shut it down completely to stop it.

I've ran the FRST but I'm having trouble running the aswMBR - I get a system error message - Device has ran into a problem and needs to restart. I've tried re-running the app & have the same message each time. I update the Avast, then let it run. The computer closes, restarts as normal. Then nothing.

Hello sunshine&flowerpots,

Unfortunately the malware forum here is closed and malware logs are not allowed in the Spybot forum.

Apologies,

Hi Tashi,

Sorry to hear that. Is there any other forums you can recommend?

Thanks

Hi sunshine&flowerpots,

A lot of them have closed their malware forums but BleepingComputer has an open one here

Hope that helps,

tashi

Ah, thank you.
