Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance)

All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.


Can you assure me this is a valid program:
C:\ARCHIV~1\Pinnacle\SHARED~1\Filter\server.exe
I show it as: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Home/

If you are unsure, use one or more of these free scans to scan that file in red, and post the results.
http://virusscan.jotti.org/
http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus
http://www.virustotal.com/

If that program is valid, then your HJT log is clean. It may be that malware is hiding but the symptoms you describe do not sound like malware. Can you provide more information? When the computer slows do you get any error messages from Windows? If you do post them "word for word" Any other symptoms besides the slowing?

Look at the information in these links to see if anything helps with the problem:

Thanks a lot.
The file you pointed is fine, and i consulted the link you gave and i think i just got the problem.
Thanks
But if you are interested Windows never showed any messages, and the Pc Pitstop didn't show anything apart from some security fixing in IE.

[pskelley]

Thanks for the feedback, I would still like a look at the PCPitStop test results as requested, I may spot something you do not see.

i consulted the link you gave and i think i just got the problem.Could you share what it is that has helped your problem, this may help another member with the same issues.

System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:

Pcpitstop results:http://www.pcpitstop.com/pcpitstop/summary.asp

The thing was that firefox was slowing down thge computer because the size of the cache was too big, now is working much better.

[pskelley]

Thanks for the feedback, that is not the link to your test results? I really don't need to see it if all is well, and if you saw the information and understand it. If you have questions you can post them in the PCPitStop user to user help forum I posted a link to.

Thanks
